I went to the hospital Sunday night thinking that I was in labor, but I was checked and I hadn't progressed since my appt, so the dr decided he was going to strip my membranes because I was in early labor.  Contractions started immediately but not regular enough to keep me.  I came home decided I should try to get some sleep.....and the contractions stopped.  I was sooo upset thinking that I was going to be pregnant forever!!  But I woke up to get the kids on the bus and they started back immediately, although they weren't regular.  I walked up and down my stairs for a couple hours, I sat on the exercise ball, I did everything.  Well the hubby came home around 1 and decided to stay home because it was looking promising!!!  Around 4 they were finally 10 minutes apart, and I started getting things ready for the kids.  By 530 the contractions were 3-5 minutes apart!!! We get to l&d and I get checked....I was dilated to 8cm and I had a bulging sac!!  I asked for an epidural immediately but the anestesiologist was busy with a csection so I was going to have to wait....I told them forget the epidural just break my water.  The pressure was the worst!!!  So they break my water and I am an immediate 10 cm, I pushed through 2 contractions and she was born!!!!

Brynnleigh Lynn was born Jan. 24@ 8:29 pm weighing 6lbs 10 oz and 20 inches long!!  When I figure how to post a pic I will!!

But she is doing great and she is absolutely perfect!!!!!

Congrats on your little bundle of joy.  Hope all is well with you and baby.  I would like to ask if you dont mind, how much you gained during pregnancy.  Husband and I are trying to get pregnant now and just want to get an idea of what I am in for.

Sorry it took me so long to write back.  I gained 22lbs total.  I dont know if I lost all the baby weight but I am wearing my old clothes after a week!!
