Our baby girl is here. Samantha Leigh aka Sami Leigh was born at 2:40am on Friday November 13, 2009. She was 8lbs 1.8oz and 19.5inches long. She is beautiful and has lots of dark hair just like jamie did when she was born. This labor and delivery took me by suprise, but it went soo well. I started feeling contractions around 4pm on thursday. I had gone to the dr that morning and things were normal, just another uneventful visit, so i thought i still had some time before she was here. Anyways, around 4 on thursday i laid down and took a small nap and woke up and was still having contractions and they were getting pretty intense. I told my mom and billy and i think both knew i wasn't lying, but also probably neither expected that i was actually going to have her that night. My parents came over to unload a couch they gave us for our new basement and i was having pretty heavy contractions. I made the decision i wanted to go in to the hospital. When i got here i had to wait a little bit bc apparently it was a busy night for labor and delivery, lots of moms here. Once they checked me, they admitted me and my contractions got intense. I had to wait for awhile to get my IV and bloodwork done before i could get an epidural (which i knew i wanted). After what seemed like forever and after probably scaring billy to death with my drama of the contraction pain, i got my epidural and i was happy and able to relax. They checked me about every hour, and at 2am, my water hadn't broken yet, but they said they thought i was completely dilated, and as they were checking my water did break. My dr was called immediately and once she arrived i only had to push 3-4 times, like maybe 10min total and Samantha came out! She is perfect. Apparently i was hot, so i had the room really cold and i don't think she liked that very much. I was able to hold her and talk to her, then billy took over and helped the nurse take care of her and give her a bath. That night i was able to rest and am feeling good. I'm so thankful and happy.
