Yes well you probably already figured that out or guess it would happen as that is what happens in normal cases when one is pregnant. ANYWAYS.. I had my Little girl on the 19th, Posted her birth stats on my profile and I figured I would share the story with y'all and some updates about us as of now.

SO as the story goes, I woke up a 7:13am on the 18th and discovered that I may be leaking fluid.. My water hadn't broken but I still figured to call my midwife and tell her anyways. She said she wanted me to come in at 11 to test the fluid and if it was my water I had to start my antibiotics as I tested positive for strep b in the previous weeks which is a bacteria that causes pneumonia in newborns if i don't treat them and myself with antibiotics during labor. While prepping the car with everything and getting ready to head out around 9:30 ( as i lived about two-ish hours from the birthing center) MY real water broke.. Long story short, I got on my antibiotics.. went about my day as if it was normal, attended a wedding. And headed to the birthing center around 8pm to hopefully see if i was ready to be admitted. I originally planned for an all natural drug free water birth at the birthing center in Everett, sans the antibiotics that i absolutely needed. Sadly I found that Labor wasn't progressing so I was sent home to drink castor oil and return at 3 am.. In hopes my contractions would pick up better around then.. My midwife's goal was to have me giving birth by 7am as my water had broken and risk of infection grew greater as the day progressed. Once I got back home and had my first dose of caster oil my labor seemed to kick in on its own before the caster oil kicked in so we decided to head back to Everett as I was feeling the contractions every 5 or so min and they were lasting a little under a min each. When I got to the birthing center though they seemed to stop... I also had a fever and was feeling very ill.. After getting sick we felt that maybe I needed to try another dose of caster oil and try again.. after taking a short nap though I ended up getting sick once more and had an ever higher fever and My midwife feared infection so I got transferred down to Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland. By the time I got to the hospital My full labor began luckily and they got me on fluids as I was really dehydrated. I lasted about 27 hours without any drugs or medication to dull the pain or quicken labor * no pitocin or epidural* but because I was doing SOO well with coping through the pain of each contraction... I had to go on the Epidural so I would ignore the pain and let my body do its natural process to get my baby born. After a few hours of that being run with pitocin I was ready to push. Most new moms push for 3 or more hours but lucky me I got her out in just one ending my labor and birth process at 11:36 pm on the 19th nearly a full two days and she was finally here. Sadly because of possible infection as she was born with a temperature of 100 She had to be kept for 48 hours on antibiotics and I had to keep my temperature out of the fever zone for a full 24 before they would allow us to leave so We ended up staying in the hospital enduring lots of IV's and testing till 8:30pm on the 21st.

Now that we are home I have been spending my days resting, healing from giving birth, taking care of my little one, and getting things in order like doctors, and insurance and other legal matters like the stuff involving my car accident. My future plans still involve getting out more and eventing, I'm still going to work RF this year in September and I am planning a family camping event down at a pirate event in oregon in July. My birthday is next month on the 17th and I'm not sure what I will be doing other than going down to auburn to see my grandmother and Introduce her to her great grand baby. I'm still recovering from the car accident as well and will return to the chiropractors as soon as I'm all healed up from the birth and hopefully I won't be permanently disabled from it. Standing for long periods of time is a huge no no and my hip keep giving out from time to time and I really hope that it can be fixed with adjustments. So yep that Is my big major life update. I'll try to be more active on here as well now too starting next week.
