So I woke up thursday morning around 3:30 with what felt like menstrual craps that came every 15 minutes and i couldnt get back to sleep. Finally about 7 i fell back asleep and the cramping was almost gone. I had a doctors apt. that morning at 9. the cramping started to come back as i got ready. I went in and and the hooked me up on monitors to make sure Jefrie was doing ok. The nurse was so excited when i told her about the cramping she said they could possibly be the signs of early labor. On the monitors you could see the little contractions. The doctor checked me and i was between 2 and 3 centimeters. He told to keep track of the contractions and i could go to the hospital anytime. My mom and i decided to go to Costco to walk a little. We left the doctor about 10:30am and in the car i definitely started to feel the contractions. As we walked in Costco I was in feeling it in my back, front and hips. it was not fun!! the contractions were every 5-10 minutes but luckily only lasting 30 seconds. We went to drop off groceries at my moms and i was sitting on the ball and walking around and the contractions were more around 5 minutes apart but still not lasting over 45 seconds. I couldnt stand them anymore and so we went to the hospital. Aaron met us there shortly after we arrived. (Around 1:00pm) I dont think the nurses believed me about how much pain i really was in. I told them what i measured to that morning and after i said, (ok maybe i said it a little onry) "this sucks someone shoot me now!!" at the end of a contraction the nurse stopped what she was doing and said, "ok im going to check you first" I WAS AT A 6!!!! the nurse was shocked and confessed that she was still thinking i would be at a 2 or 3 still. So she hurried and put me on the IV and called for the epidural. PEOPLE THAT DO IT WITHOUT AN EPIDURAL ARE INSANE!!!!

So this is me a while after the epidural set in. Man, epidurals are amazing.

They checked me in a few hours and i was an 8. I'm pretty sure my doctor wanted to finish his clients at the office before he came because they didnt come check me again until he got there around 5:30. (And of coarse i was a 10 by then) I was totally ok with that though cuz i got to rest and i was loving the epidural. He had to break my water and after about 30-40 minutes of pushing, Jefrie was finally here.

What a cute family!


Aaron talking to his mom. He is such a cute dad.

One of Jefrie's nurses just loved her cry. She said its just suck a girly cry. It is kinda cute.

Here is Jefrie in her car seat. Her new born clothes were drowning her.

Isn't she just the cutest little girl ever!!!!???!!!
