I was scheduled for an induction the morning of Thursday Feb. 21,
however Miss Sadie decided she was going to make her debut when she decided to.
My contractions began at 3 AM Thursday morning and by 4:30AM
I woke Chris up and explained to him what was going on and that I was going to jump in the shower.
While I was in the shower, I asked Chris to start timing the contractions.
They were about 3-5 minutes apart and then my water broke in the shower.
Here we go!
Luckily, we were planned to go in for induction later that morning, so my Mom was already at our house this morning.
Chris and I headed to the hospital as she got Nash ready for school and fed until Pappi could get there to take over.
Chris's Mom met us at the hospital.
My Dad, grandparents and sisters got in the car and drove up from San Diego.
Thank goodness Sadie decided to come on her own because we got the last Delivery room
and come to find out the hospital was going to have to push out my induction date!
All of us got settled settled into the room.
The nurse checked me and I was at a 3-4 cm dilated.
Naturally, I requested an epidural as soon as I could get it.
Miraculously, it worked this time:)
When we made it to 6 cm, the nurse gave me some pitocin to help my body to progress.
2 hours later I was ready to start pushing.
I only pushed for 20 minutes but it was very difficult.
Miss Sadie was stuck and coming out sideways.
Both nurses has to get on the bed and push on my stomach to help the doctor to get Sadie out.
Once she came out, the cord was wrapped around her neck and she was a blueberry.
Let's just say the grandmothers were very nervous.
As the time went on she started to pink up, but she was bruised from being stuck.
Her left side took most of the beating. Her little eye and ear were bruised for many days.
After she was weighed and cleaned up, Sadie had a lot of family there to greet her into the world.
