My little girl Minna graced us with her presence on May 12 at 7:50 AM weighing in at 8 pounds and 20 inches in length.

It all started with me having to go get a cervical check to see whether had dilated or not. The doctor told me that by 8 o'clock in the evening of the 11th- if the contractions start getting bad I should call her and make my way over to the hospital if not then I should come back to the office tomorrow.

I managed to deal with everything up until about 11 o'clock at night. I thought maybe the cramping and the pain was because of the cervical check as I had a previous cervical check and I cramped for some time. My husband and I grabbed all of our things and decided to go to the hospital just in case. Got there the doctor was still there and she checked me and said that I would have the baby in the next day.

I was admitted and they began the epidural with me and my doctor broke my water. She said that I had too much water there for the baby didn't engage properly in my pelvis. She kind of floated up and down. For hours they switched my position back-and-forth back-and-forth trying to get the baby to flip around the proper way.

When I was dilated at 9 cm the doctor reached in and tried to physically turn my baby but that didn't work out well either. She asked me to push. I pushed a few times and she said we have to do a C-section so anesthesiologist came injected me with some more anesthesia and prepped the OR.

They started and within 20 minutes I saw my little one looks exactly like her father and his entire family. Thank goodness everything went OK she's healthy for now and I seem to be healing up nicely.
May 11 at 11 o'clock at night until May 12 7:50 AM. Our Minna is with us finally ❤️
