Beep is here!

in Pregnant after IF
Thanks so much for the messages, everyone! I'll post more detail and a picture later but we're doing great! Her real name is Grace Anne T. She's 6lbs, 11oz of adorableness and I love her so much already! I woke up at 4:30am to contractions 5 mins apart and a bloody show. My water broke at 5:15am in the car. I got in my room at the hospital at 6am and was already almost 6cm dilated, 100% effaced. I labored for an hour and was checked again and was almost at 9cm. Too late for an epidural. They gave me a small amount of stadol which didn't really do anything, I pushed for 45 mins and she was born at 8:49am. I won't lie, it hurt a lot. I felt everything. But soooo worth it!! I'll post more later but I'm getting moved now. I'm going to post something on FB may I politely request that you not post on my wall until I get a chance to announce? Thanks so much! Xoxo

    Welcome to the world little Grace!  Your mama sure has been waiting to meet you.

    So glad everything was smooth and speedy.  Both my boys were so fast there was no time for an epi and while it hurt like h*ll it was a super easy recovery.
