Last weekend was full of Thanksgiving, Duck football game, friends staying with us over the weekend, Duck Basketball game, dinner party at our house and ended with what I was hoping was a lazy Sunday. As I was watching Kendra :) relaxing on the couch I felt like I tinkled my pants...hmmm that wasn't normal. I brushed it off until it kept happening. I quickly started to panic and jumped into the shower just in case it was something.
After talking with the doctor we went to the hospital. And after some deliberation (I swore up and down to them I don't pee my pants, this was very unusual!) I was admitted and while my body started to dilate more on my own they decided that night to start Pitocin. Ok, fine I had been there done that..lets roll! Well, holy crap, not sure how I made it to a 7/8 last time without an epidural but I was at a 4 and needed one stat. After getting the wonderful drugs I changed in 30min to a 7 and then 20min later to a 10...it was time to push.
WAIT, how the hell did I get here?! I'm actually having this baby?!!!...was all I could think of. I was supposed to have another 2-3 weeks! I still had a week of work, I had a pedi/mani that weekend, I needed to get some more stuff and.... Anyway after pushing 3 times, Miss Sloane decided to make her entrance.

Thankfully she is eating well and is pretty low key. I realize they wake up in another week or so, but Davis wasn't even eating well from me at this point so things are already better.
I'd like to check this off my 40 b4 40 list, I'm sure I'll be talking alot about her on this blog.
Here's to sweet surprises!

Meghan, What a doll! I love her name too! I didn't realize that our babies share a birthday until I read your story. Funny huh? Sounds like everything is lovely. Let me know if you want to hang out and nurse together. I just realized 'hang out' is probably an inappropriate term, but I'm leaving it.
