- I only went through the contractions for 3 days. I had enough by Monday. I realized that Britany is a lot stronger then people give her credit for. Going through contractions for 4 weeks would have killed me!
- I thought it was so funny that one of the nurses came in and told us that "she was trying to convince me that I was in labor." All of the nurses were amazed that I was dilated to a 7 and still was joking around and smiling. After that they got a lot harder and I became a lot more quite, but I handled everything very well.
- I hate needles and when I was getting my IV it didn't go so well. The blood pressure cuff was not working on me and would cut off my blood circulation. Then the nurse decided to put the IV in right after. That did not work so well. She burst my vain and no i have a nice bruise. A new nurse tried and well the first time she did it she hit a valve and now I have 2 bruises on my arm. The third one finally took. The bruises are pretty much the only thing I am still healing from.
- It was interesting when I was not aloud to push her out. The nurse keep telling me "say Pu Pu Pu" Let me tell you that it is not easy. The doctor had just enough time to get in there and put gloves on by the time she was coming out. It was crazy.
So those are pretty much what I remember at the moment. I will have to write later more, but we are heading to the store. I picked the worst time to have a kid. The house was a wreck, we had no food, and we had plans on Tuesday to buy our Christmas present. Oh well what can you do, she decided to come a little early.
I am truly thankful for Mickie and Matt and how they came over at 4 am and helped out. I am so glad that I have such a great sister that lives here. (Suzanne would have totally been down too, if she was not watching our cousin). Plus Will enjoyed the hospital breaks by going disc golfing.

I am happy you are back and that all went well. It sounds like your BUSY! Give kisses to Sierra and Jason for me. I can't wait to meet them...well...her! ;)
I hate needles too. Ever since I thought about having kids I worried about the needles! When they did my IV for my D&C I was terrified. I wanted to rip it out.
I am jealous of your births! Pregnancies I do not have much to complain about, but he little tiny babies would be nice!
Glad you are back home and your mom is there. For a treat we eat Chinese food, but in your house well----. Maybe a hamburger. Sierra looks gorgeous.
