So, Here's how it went.

So on wednesday I was having contractions all day, they weren't really consistant, but generally around 10 minutes apart, and they were getting slightly stronger. But I started to think it was false labor cause they weren't progressing. We put peyton down for a nap at 1, and the Monsons took Halli for a playdate in the woodlands, and then we were going to head in. Right around then the hospital called me in anyway to be induced, since they had canceled earlier that morning.

We got to the hospital at 2:00, I was a 4-5 already and they broke my water and started the pitocin at 3:15. I got the epidural at 5:00ish and then things were smooth sailing. At 6:00 the doctor came in and checked me again and I was at a 6. He is moving monday so he said he had to run home and get something done but he would only be an hour and a half, and I shouldn't be done by then. So I laid down and relaxed. I could feel a little pressure but the anesthesiologist said I would so I didn't think about it. Well at 6:45, I felt alot of pressure and realized that I was ready to push....a little quicker than an hour and a half. The nurses came in and I was instructed to fight the urge....do you know how hard that is? This was the worst part of the labor! They called the doctor and he said he was 15 minutes away. So I did the best I could and squeezed the life out of kevins hand while we waited for him to get there. Once he showed up I pushed about 5 times and our little girl was born!

She has been a fairly good baby up until last night. We were up pretty much from 12:00 to 7:00 with maybe an hour of sleep. Around 5:30 when she was screaming, I looked in her mouth and saw HUGE blisters at the back of her throat. We went to the doctor this morning and it turns out our 4 day old little girl has foot, hand, mouth disease. I guess we're lucky it's only in her throat and she doesn't have a fever with it, but she is having a really bad day, and we are not looking forward to tonight. As far as I know the other girls don't have it, and I have no idea where she could have got it from. For now tylenol will be our friend and hopefully once this clears up she'll be sleeping a little bit better. Ah, the joys of parenthood, you forget just how tiring it is with a new baby in the house.
