Lillian Johanna has arrived

Well, we had a c-section scheduled for 11am today - but Lilly had other plans.

I woke up around 1am with horrible back pain. I figured maybe it was some gas pains from what I ate with DH for the superbowl because I also felt like I needed to use the bathroom. I tried to use the potty, but to no avail. I went back to bed, and realized that the pains were, indeed, coming and going. I walked around my house to see if they would go away, but they didn't, so I started to time them. They were coming every 4 minutes and lasting 30 seconds. I decided to wake up DH, and we started timing them together... they got to 3 minutes apart, lasting 40-45 seconds. At this point I couldn't talk through them so we called the on call doctor, she told us to come in. By the time I was hooked up at triage, the pains were so bad (all back labor), and I was already 5cm dilated. They decided to do the c-section right there and then, and at 5:09am, an 8lb 3oz, 20 1/4 inch, Lillian Johanna entered the world, wailing all the way
