My princess arrived!!

Had an appointment on Tues. The Dr stretched my cervix to 3cm. Got up at 4am on Wed to use the bathroom. Had some cramping but nothing new to me. Had been having contractions off and on for weeks. But after I used the bathroom the cramp was still there. Went and laid back down to see if I was going to get another. Got another a few minutes later. Started timing with the 3rd one. They were 3-5 minutes apart. So after them being consistent for 30 minutes got the hubby up, called our parents, packed my bag, let the dog out, got the kids up and went to the hospital. Got there at around 5:30, got checked was at 6cm. My mom went to get coffee, lol and took the kids with her. We got admitted, got to our room was still a 6. My Dr got there about 15-20 minutes later, got to an 8. Water still wasn't broken. She broke it, hubby called my mom, her and the kids got there just before I started pushing. Pushed 5 times and Samantha Raquel entered the world at 7:05am, 6/25 (1 day before my edd), and was 9.7, 21 inches! My biggest baby so far. And I did it natural again. So proud of myself for sticking to my guns this time since like I said she has been my biggest. Oh and she breast feeds like a champ, just like the other 2 did:)
