Early friday morning around 4:30 I woke up and thought that my water might have broken. I wasn't sure because it wasn't a gush, all of our baby classes made sure to tell us that only 10% of women actually have their water break before they go to the hospital and I still had 12 days until my due date. I called labor and delivery about an hour later and they told me that I was probably right but to call back in an hour and let them know how it was going. By the time I called back my contractions were about 7 minutes apart and the back labor was killing me. We got to the hospital about 7:30 and went into triage. Unfortunately by this time I was feeling faint, nauseous and like ripping my hips out. They checked me to find that I was already at 5cm. Afterward my blood pressure dropped really low, I was dehydrated, Nick was looking concerned and the smell from the oxygen mask was horrible so I threw up :) They decided to admit me and very quickly hooked me up to an IV and a blood pressure cuff which took my blood pressure about one billion times that day. By 10:15 I was blissfully epiduraled up and was feeling 100% percent better.
Mom, Nick and I all took bets as to when she would finally get here and unfortunately we were all a couple of hours off the target. Sienna was doing what she had done my whole pregnancy...whatever she wanted when she wanted to do it. She was facing up instead of down and kept trying to escape the heart moniter. When they checked me again I was at a 9 but Sienna was still not facing the right way so they had me lay on my side to convince her to roll over. She eventually did but no one is really sure when but it wasn't then. Around 4 I started " practice pushing" which eventually lead to real pushing. After two long hours and one crazy black lady yelling at me she finally arrived at 6:03 pm.
Sienna was a surprise to me in so many ways. I had convinced myself that she was going to be a big baby, over due and bald. However, Miss Sienna showed up 12 days early weighing in at a "whooping" 6 lbs 12 oz with a beautiful baby mullet of blond hair. Everyone is doing well besides some jaundice and lack of sleep. She's wonderfully cute, so here are some pictures to reward you for sticking through the story.
