Hi everyone! I was mia for awhile before Alyssa arrived preparing things and spending as much quality time as possible w/ the twins.
Thank Eli for posting about me delivering and everyone's well wishes.
For those that don't want to read and just want to see pics, scroll to the bottom. :-)
I had a scheduled repeat c-section for Thurs. May 13th, but Alyssa had plans of her own. I started some pretty strong contractions Friday night (the 7th) through Sat night, but they were varaying so i thought they were just bh contractionns. By the middle of Sat night, they were about 5 mins apart and lasting over a minute. Ok, so I was in labor. Called ob office, when on call doc called back contractions were 3 mins apart lasting over a min and a half. Doc said he would meet me there right away. We arrived at the hospital, no one was there from the c-section team yet. Nurses started to prep me. We were waiting for the doc to arrive. I always wanted a natural birth w/o drugs and I almost had one. lol. they don't give u the spinal for the c-section until the doc is there. i was at the point where i needed to be pushing, but i wasn't allowed of course. i joked w/ my husband i was just going to do it myself.
Well, alyssa was born at 8:33 am on Sunday, May 9th. Mother's Day! She was born at 37.5 weeks, 1 week before the twins were born! She was 19 in and weighed 6 lbs 9oz and completetly perfect!
Lucas and Sofia are obsessed with her and are completely in love with her, just as Albert and I are. She's been such a good baby and nursing has been a breeze. 1 baby is easier than 2. :-)
She will be 2 weeks on Sunday and she has already changed so much. She is only a few hrs old in these pics my sil took. i will try to post some recent pictures soon. scroll down to the second post to see baby alyssa!
Hope everyone is doing well!
