She has arrived!

My June baby arrived!

Natalie Kate made her entrance on Tuesday, June 4th at 7:33 am! She weighed 7 lbs .3 ounces and it the light of our lives.

I was 39 wks on Monday and was supposed to have a routine apt at 2:30 pm. I started having contractions around 6:30am but they weren't real consistent, so I assumed they were BH since I hadn't felt those before. After a bit, they were getting a little stronger but mostly in my lower back. At 9:40, I told DH we were going to the dr early because I couldn't take it anymore. I went in and was 3cm 90%, and the Thurs before I was only 1 1/2 cm 80%. If I hadn't been dilated to 3, I was coming in on the 4th for Foley and induction on the 5th. Dr went ahead and admitted me at 10:30 am Monday. I planned on going natural and made it to midnight before I couldn't handle the back labor. Dr came and broke my water at 5:30 am since I was at 8cm and after 5 intervals of 3 pushes, Natalie was born!
