Sorry for the lack of updates , but something awesome has happened, and It had me a bit… preoccupied…

Yeah. I Know!

It was such a long day. I was up at seven on Wednesday and by Nine my SIL had called to say she was still contracting – she had started contracting the night before – so as the day progressed she would call me with updates – she is an hour away from me – by six PM she was six to five minutes apart and I was getting worried.

Eventually, they – my Step Mother (not the evil variety) my brother and his chick, headed into the city. By now it is 11 PM. We stopped at Timmy’s for some iced capps and 7-11 to talk to my BFF who was scheduled to work that night.

We got to the hospital and were in a room by 12:30 Thursday morning. At this time, her contractions started spacing out. She was dealing amazingly with the ones shw was having and we were up and walking from 1:30 AM till 4 Am. She went from 2 to five int hat time. At five,m the nurse requested she go to the delivery room, and so we did.

We all tried to catch a bit of sleep, but for the most part we were unable. J got a two hour nap in after her epidural, so thats great.

At 10 she was checked and had only made it to six, so the nurse decided to use a catheter and drain her bladder and break her bag of waters. The minute her bladder was empty, the water broke and the baby was THERE.

At 10:13, She was born.

It was awesome!

I ended up being awake for over 32 hours, and for me, a person who NEEDS sleep – 9-10 hours of it, this was bad, and it has taken me quite a while to get back on track!

But oh, is she ever worth it!
