Storm has arrived  

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 
She was born on May 8th, 2006. I was induced after showing signs of being very cloe to delivery(4 cm & lots of bloody show) since my labors go so fast & we live so far away from the hopital~ Anyway~ I went in Sunday night & after they called in staff for the L&D (2hours) it was too late at night for the M/W to do much in way of getting an induction started~ So we went to sleep & waited for morning~ At 8ish my MW tried to break my bag & commented on how tough the bag was~ She told me to get up & walk for an hour(or so) & we would try again~ At 10:30 she tried again but it hurt so bad I told her lets just start the pit & get this over with~ At 10:30 we strarted the Pit(which usually does not hurt when my bags are intact) Well this hurt like hadies! Around noon I was 5 and then I was sort of losing it~ Not my best labor It was a rough couple of hours but about the time I was ready for some serious drugs(1pm) the M/W told me let me check you to see if where you are~ She then told me to just push the baby out & it would be over Storm Isabella made her debut at 1:28pm weighing in a 6lbs9oz & 18 in long~ She is beautiful & looks like a mix of a few of my other kids~ Nursing like a champ & we are already at home~

Here are some pictures of her:

Thanks everybody! It is great fun on this list~ It always amazes me how small our world really has become(Prom & Middle TN)

Lucky lady I am glad to be of service I will say something that I forgot to add earlier is that even though we thought my bags had not been broken Storm was a dry birth~ No fluid & we are not sure for how long~ The MW even told me that after she first tried to break the bags(instead of Pit) that I had bags that felt like leather~ Makes me wonder what exactly was going on~

AugustineM~ She has been smilng since she was born~ She is my first one that has ever done this~ I would not believe it if I had not seen it

Thanks again all! Welcome to all the babies that arrived while I was gone & Don't worry the rest of the May mamas it will be over soon!

Warmly,
Melissa

Congrats!

I was induced for that reason once.... it was my hardest birth to recover from. I'm glad to see you are already feeling so well.

I'm trying to follow you, I'm close! But this is my slowest labor yet, so far. All day yesterday and then today... *sigh*
