She's here...7 weeks early..UPDATE on PAGE 4 with new pictures.

Ok...well, for those that read my post on Monday night, obvsioully, I was in labor and didn't know it Chat Icon I'm home...and a little tired, but overall, doing well.

Here's my story:
Monday, when I woke up, I was feeling a little off, DH and I went out to run our errands and then he took my home around 2ish because I just didn't feel well. I tried to lay down and rest, but was uncomfortable. At around 6ish...DH and I agreed we should call the doctor. I asked DH if I should pack a bag for the hospital in case they make me stay...and he said, don't worry, I'm sure they will just hook you up to a monitor and make sure things are fine and send you home. The doctor called us back around 7:10 pm, and when I told him what was going on, he said go to the hospital. So...we jumped in the car and headed there...got to the hospital about 730-7:35 pm. On the way there...I said to DH, either my water just broke, or I just pee'd in my pants Chat Icon

We got a wheelchair at the emergency entrance at the hospital...and they took us right up to the mother/baby wing (it was about 7:40-7:45). They hooked my up to an IV and the doctor arrived shortly. I went from 2cm dialated to 8cm in a matter of 15-20 minutes. The doctor leaned over and said to me "sweetheart, we don't have time to give you an epidural"...I just about freaked! I said, "forget it then...I'm not doing this". Chat Icon They said I had to...I kept saying over and over, I can't do it, I can't do it...and they kept saying you are doing it, you are already doing it. It was tough....but at 8:43 pm, Mollie Alise entered the world weighing in at 4lbs 2 oz, measuring 16 inches. She was 33w3d (so just about 7 weeks early). I have to get stiched up a little, but it wasn't too bad.

The NICU team was fantastic...Mollie came out breathing on her own, and crying, but they hooked her up to a tube to assist her in her breathing, so she didn't have to work too hard. They said for being that early, she was a good size, and should be home with us in a few weeks.

Today...they took the cap off her nose, and she now only has a small tube with oxygen. They also removed the feeding tube in her belly and put an IV in her arm, so they can start to feed her a little bit of formula. They said she is progressing well and quickly. DH and I are going back to the hospital later to visit.

Here's a few pictures of Mollie:

She's beautiful, Kim!!

I can't believe how fast everything happened for you.

And I laughed out loud at your response to the epidural thing!

Congratulations to you and your DH. I hope Ms. Mollie comes home soon!
