Finally some GOOD news!
On Monday I went to the doc after nearly fainting from back pain at Target and got another fetal non stress test which showed no contractions at all. This was around 1 PM. So we made an appt for me to go into today for an induction. Around 6 PM the same day I started contracting slightly. I ignored it at first. Then at 7:10 they suddenly started coming every 3 minutes. They weren't too bad at first but by 8 PM they were excruciating and non-stop. So we went to the hospital. I was contracting so violently and quickly my room filled with nurses and they were going to do a c-section but as soon as they got the epidural in (thank heaven for epidurals!!) things ran much more smoothly and contractions slowed to a normal pace. Labor only lasted about 6 hours and out came little Keeley Adrienne on Tuesday June 5th. She is so cute and a greedy eater demanding to be fed almost every hour! Which is making for two very sleepy new parents!
Just had to share my something good!

((((pommmom2005))))) Congratulations!!!

I remember those days. I'll pray for you for your endurance during the first exhausting days. Ask around to see if someone will watch the little one so you can catch up on sleep.

Congrats! Children are such a blessing in our lives. It is amazing how much they teach us about ourselves just by being themselves. Enjoy your lil' bundle & I wish you the best of luck on getting some sleep!:)
