Wow it's been awhile!

So I made it through the rest of the pregnancy and labor!! I have a healthy and beautiful baby girl. She's was born August 7th, 2010 at 3:11pm weighing in at 6lbs 6.9oz and 19in long. Wow I can't believe it's all over with and she's here...she's been here for over 2 weeks now and things are going amazing. I am so in love and she's just perfect!!!! :) I was in labor for like 3 days before I actually had her but my silly body wouldn't dilate. I went to the hospital to get check on Friday morning around 3:30am and was only 1cm. They obvs. sent me home. I had my 40 weeks check up that next afternoon on Friday August 6th. I was still just 1cm and my Dr. "tried" to strip my membrains but thought she wasn't able to. After my appointment I went shopping and walking! While in old navy I started bleeding so I was pretty excited. After shopping I went home and vacumed two rooms and wouldn't let anyone help me. I also was bouncing on my Yoga ball for the past week and most of that evening. As the evening went on the contractions were stronger and closer together. Around 1am I called my dr. They were about 5mins apart and hurt bad. Got to the hospital around 1:30am with contractions about 4mins apart. I was 3cm so they kept me!!! :) I knew it was time I was so excited! Did a lot of walking around the halls of the hospital with Amanda having to stop every few mins to have my contractions. Mom and Dad went home and had a nap and I made Amanda take a nap in my room for a couple hours b/c I knew it'd be a long day. My sister showed up not too long into all this and stayed til it was over with. I went in the bath tub twice...before I knew it I was 5 1/2cm then a couple hours later I was 8cm. No time for meds at this point so I just went without any! :) I ended up pushing for 30-45mins and she was here! Once her head was out she came FLYING out. The Dr. had to actually catch her in the air! :) I am now a proud mommy!!!! :) I'm so gratfull for all the ppl that were there with me when Maggie came into the world! HUGE thanks to my parents and my sister and my amazing GF for everything they did for me that day and always...:) Love you guys!
