I had my girl this morning!

Well, this morning I went into labor!  =)

I told you ladies I wouldn't make it to Friday or past that!  Hahaha!  

This morning at 1 am, I woke up with this horrid back pain, so I went to the bathroom to make sure I just didn't have to pee, and that didn't help.  So I put the monitor machine on, and woke up my husband and told him, I need him up just incase!  So I wasn't having contractions, but my doctor asked me to come in since he was on call and just delivered a baby at that!  

And we got there, and I walked into the room them put me in, and my WATER BROKE!  Hahaha it was funny, I was just like, "Oh Sh!T!!!!"  I jumped into the bed, and good thing cause she slid out without me pushing!  LOL  Hmm, 5 minute labor isn't bad right?!  Well, yeah.

Being 5w4d early, she weighed in at 6lbs on the dot, and is 21 inches long, much longer than my other two and weighed more for being inbetween!  Go figure!!!

Her name is Olivia Grace  =)

My husband brought my comp, so I just wanted to update for you ladies!

Yeah eager little bum!  LOL  But definately a cutiepie!  =)  My doctor was amazed that she came in the middle of the time frame of my previous two and actually weighed more and is longer!  Hahaha!  

They are going to keep her for a week in the NICU just to make sure everything is all dandy, and she gains her lb back!  But she doesn't need oxygen or anything so, so far all is well!

YEAH! So exciting! How amazing. I look at that picture though and even though I feel huge - can not imagine a baby that big in my belly! She is precious. She looks like a good color too - no jaundice or anything. SO HAPPY for you!

Thanks ladies!  They were expecting my labor to be about 10 minutes long, my son was 20 minutes and my daughter, my first one that is was 35 minutes!  =)

They just checked her billi-ribbon and it went up a bit, but her levels are so low that it's not concerning them, but they said that the jaundice could always appear in the next few days, but we're keeping her in the sunlight through the window and have the lights on.  So that helps wonders!  

I think if I went to term she would have been a good 8 1/2 to 9 lbs!  LOL  Can't imagine it though, my other daughter was 5lbs 2oz  18in born at 34w1d and my son was 5lbs 12oz 19in born at 35w.  So this was quite the difference!!!
