I'm a momma now . Arianna was born Oct 7th, 5 days late at 12:27 pm. Weighing 5lbs13oz and 18 inches long. We got home today and she is just wonderful . I love being her mommy. :cloud9:

My birth story is kinda blurry because I haven't had much sleep yet, but my waters broke at midnight exactly and I started to have contractions around 12:30, made it to the hospital at I think around 1-2am and got my epidural at 6am. My contractions were pretty irregular, but I had to stay since my water broke so they hooked me up to pitocin which was making Arianna's heart rate drop because there wasn't fluid for cushion, so they did something called an amniotic infusion and supplemented the fluids with saline, then they hooked the pitocin back up and I took a nap. Around 12pm I thought my butt had gone numb from sitting so long, the nurse checked and I was 10cm! She was out in about 30 minutes and is just super perfect, nursing well and everything.

I have her professional hospital pictures up on my facebook, add me if you would like to see them
