I love Mommy

I'm pretty sure that's what she's saying...

She's here!

Taylee has arrived! (I'm really late posting this update but there has been very little time to catch up...). I was planning on being induced on Friday, November 13th at 5am but at 5:00 pm on Thursday night Taylee let us know it was on her terms. I had a few contractions but nothing regular. At 6:00pm I was having them every 10-14 minutes with an occasional 6 minute little one. I called the hospital a few times but they told me to wait until they were 6-7 minutes. Finally at 6:50, when they got to be pretty intense but not regular and still far apart I called and asked if I could come in and they said sure, I called mom- told her not to hurry but to come soon. By 7:15 I had had two that were 7 minutes apart, mom had arrived, and we were on our way. At the top of the bridge (7:25 on my phone) we called the hospital to tell them we were on our way and they were every 2-3 minutes and to please have an epidural ready... Mike turned the hazzards on and put the pedal to the floor. We pulled into the Emergency door and they wheeled me upstairs. Nobody realized how serious I was until I was checked just a few minutes later and was at a 6+. The nurse barely got the IV needle in my hand, Dr. Sabastian almost didn't make it and I delivered Taylee Anne Manion at 8:12pm on November 12th (Auntie Leah's Birthday!). I remember the nurse telling me I was probably ready to push and I said "there isn't any doctors here?!" She told me "I've delivered babies before!" It was very exciting and we're both (mike and I) glad it's over. I think it's noteworthy... NO DRUGS! Feeling like a champion!
