Well its been so very long since I last wrote anything and so much has happened. First off let me tell you about my pregnancy.
What a great experience! I had absolutely no complaints until the last week. I never got sick, didn't gain a lot of weight, and wasn't overly moody. Then came February. My feet and ankles started to swell and for the first time I missed my little chicken ankles. They were becoming almost unbearable to walk on. My weekly appointments started and everything was coming along quite nicely. My doctor at this point wasn't worried about the swelling because the tests came out normal. Well on February 19 Cory and I got a surprise that I don't think either of us was ready for. We went in for a "normal" check up and found I was 4cm dilated, blood pressure was high and there was protein in my urine. Now before this appointment I was thinking "Gosh how nice would it be to go in and have her say 'your going to have this baby today' and that would be it." So when she asked if I wanted her to break my water and Cory and I looked at her and each other and said "WHAT!?" She then explained to me that there was no reason for me to go on feeling the way I was and with the blood pressure where it was she was getting a little concerned. So we decided to come back the following morning and I was induced at around 0830am. Finally around 1030 I asked for my epidural. Which let me tell you was WONDERFUL! After approx. 9hrs of labor on February 20, 2008 at 1745hrs our baby girl was born!
