So the past couple weeks have been so non stop go I feel like I can never stop and take a breath.
I had my shower with all my friends and family. It was wonderful and I had such a great time catching up with friends and family. Abagail got so spoiled. She recieved so many bath supplies and warm clothes, diapers, mittens, hats, blankets. It was wonderful and I thank all my friends and family for taking time to go out buy or making my little girl new things.
This is my baby shower cake that my lovely neighbor Katie made. I got so many compliments on it and everyone loved the taste of it.
10/6/12
Baby shower. I was 37 weeks that day and I was completely over doing it trying to do the last minute things to prepare for Abagail. I cleaned my house before and after, did laundry but new things away, organized, and so on. (hubby also worked hard laying grass in our backyard so all the dirt was gone before it got to rainy/snowy/muddy. Thanks babe)
34 weeks vs 37 weeks (dropped much?)
10/7/12
I rested a majority of the day. I could hardly move and my little girl dropped I was so uncomfortable. (but still determined to make it to the upcoming baby showers for my friends.)
10/8/12
I did not sleep that night I was so restless I paced around the bedroom a majority of the night. When I finally did crash my hubby had to wake up a few hours after and leave for work. So when he got up I got. I was in so much pain I had to take warm showers. After I was done I went and got Rylee and gave her, her bath. As I was in the process I heard and felt a loud pop. (This whole pregnancy my tailbone has popped everytime I got up) but this pop wasn't my tailbone it was closer to the front of my body but not quite there. It was just plain awkward. So I called my OB and he said to watch for leakage and contractions and drinky plenty of water. So I lounged again on the couch all day. I had contractions but the were so inconsistant that I stopped tracking them and I watched for leakage all day and nothing.
10/9/12
I again did not sleep paced back and forth all night and had my warm shower that hubby prepared for me before left for work. I was still determined not to go until my scheduled c-section and was still preparing to go to my friends showers. I lounged again all day but had to call hubby to come home and help cause I was not able to take care of the dog or our daughter by myself.
10/10/12
I paced the room so restless and out of my mind, it was about 3:30 in the morning and I just broke down crying saying I'm done I can't handle this anymore I need to have her now. When hubby woke up I woke up and did my normal shower routine with his help. I remember telling him when he was helping me out of bed that I wanted to have her and I wanted to have her now and that I can't be pregnant anymore. (I felt like a complete failure on this pregnancy because I just got hit with all this pain at once and couldn't take a week or more of it when I had non stop pain with Ry from 14 weeks - 35 weeks.) Before Dev left for work Ry woke up and she got in the shower with me but I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't take standing up any longer so I started her, her bath and laid on my bed and watched her play. When she was done she picked up all her toys and got out and got her towel and climbed up into my bed to rub my head. She kept telling me "Its okay mommy" over and over again. (I have such a big little girl I couldn't be happier.) After about 15 minutes of laying there I heard and felt another loud pop right in the same area that I felt before. Rylee even heard it and when she did she said "Uh oh mommy, Baby Abby" So I asked her if I should stand up and see if it was my water and she nodded her head yes. So I got off the bed and once I was straight up ... GUSH!!
Can you say YUCK!?!
So as I am leaking I'm trying to find my phone. After a few minutes Rylee found it for me and I called Dev and was screaming "COME HOME MY WATER BROKE." I hung up on him and called my Sister In Law Amber to ask what I should do to avoid getting an infection. I called my mom and my dad and they called everyone else for me.
This was such an emotional time for me because I had so much that I wanted to do before she came still. I broke down crying big time especially because I was not going to be able to make those showers that I really wanted to go to. I messaged some of them as I cried on the bathroom putting the last minute things into my hospital bag (thank goodness I packed it that night when I was so restless).
For me it seem like time just slowed down waiting for Dev to get home I called him a few time yelling at him telling him to hurry his butt home. He is so good to me even though I was so rude and mean to him. I am sorry again hun. (next time I will try harder not to panic and be mean).
As he walked through the door I had my first contraction and man I heard that your first contraction after your water breaks is painful and man did I hear correctly. It took my breath away I couldn't even move.
On the way to the hospital I felt so bad for our dog Daisy. She only got let out of her kennel for less than 5 minutes to go potty and drink water. Then she had to get locked back up for us to leave (we gave her a big bone to help occupy her until my mom came down to feed her and let her out to play for a few hours). When we arrived I thought I could walk to the entrance but I could barely move my legs so Dev had to get my a wheel chair. Moving from the car to the wheel chair was bad enough and I had another huge gush. I just felt plain embarassed. When we were in the room and all hooked up time seemed to fly by. It went all so fast. They called the doctor to see when he can come up for my c-section and he said within the hour. They prepped me making me take yucky pills and an acid reducer drink. Makes me shiver just thinking of that drink.
After I got moved from that room to the OR where I got my spinal block. (not bad at all I was so cold when I got in there but the block made me all warm and cozy.) Once I laid down the doc came in and within a half an hour there was Miss Abagail. 6lbs 1oz 18 inches long. It took about another 30 minutes for me to get all closed up and in to recovery.

Love this lil girl with all my heart. She is so darn beautiful and I can't believe we created another life. Ry is being such a great big sister. She is so helpful and loves her dearly. Ry jumps the gun when Abby makes just one little peep. She yells "Oh no! Baby Abby, hurry mommy/daddy"
