So my due date was the 27th. The next day, I was hanging out at home with Zack and I was having some cramping on and off. I really didnt think anything of it, but also started to get some shooting pains in some not so fun places. Again, didnt think much of it, because it was not in my stomach, and it wasnt too bad in pain. I decided to take a bath and then start to make Zack dinner. Just as I put the pasta out of the strainer with the sauce on it to be stirred, I felt a little gush. But it wasnt exactly what I was expecting, and so I told Zack I thought my water broke, but I was not sure. Of course, I started to freak out and get really scared, and told him I think it was my water, and we needed to head to the hospital. Zack did so well and was trying to calm me down and tell me it was going to be ok.
We get to the hospital and I was still not having any contractions, and they checked me and I was dilated only to a 1 1/2, but they did say it was my water. However, I whole water bag didnt break. So they had me walk around the hospital for an hour, and after that I was only dilated to a 2 1/2. I then started cramping often and it was getting pretty painful. And it was determined that these were my contractions, and I was just never going to feel them in my stomach. Around midnight I was only dilated to a 4, and my full water bag still didnt break. Little Miss Paisley was also jumping around in my stomach so much that her heart rate was so high that they needed to calm her down. So I decided to get the epidural around 2am. Jessica stayed in with me to get it. I cant believe she stayed with me the whole time they were doing it! So, after the first attempt ( yes first attempt ) they needed to do it again. Apparently, I dont take heavy drugs well. It takes a lot for me to get sedated.
The next morning the rest of my water still didnt break, and so my doctor came at 1030 am and broke the rest and then it was fast from there! They came back an hour later and I was dilated to a 5 1/2 and then a half hour later to an 8!!!! I was feeling a ton of pressure and then it was ready to push. So after only an hour of pushing, Miss Paisley made her debut into the world at 3:50 pm.
Paisley Michelle Toomey came into the world.

Me and Zack just love her to death. And its been of course something we need to get used to, and a huge adjustment, but a great blessing!
