madeline is one!!! i can SO not believe that one year ago she was born. she is such a sweetheart. i just love her so much! (as i do all 3 of them!) i usually recount my birthing experience on their first birthday. why should madeline be any different... here is madeline's story!
after waiting what felt like forever, i made it to 39 weeks 1 day (the longest i had ever been pregnant). then madeline made her appearance in a hurry. i woke up at 5:30am with contractions, but since i had had a day of false labor not too much before that i wanted to make sure they were real. so i took a shower. i got out i knew they where real!! i woke up jack. i called my mom and mark and emily at about 6. we got the girls up and quickly out the door. i was having contractions on the way to the folands. jack ran in and threw the girls in their house. on the way to the hospital the contractions were 1 minute apart. i was a little bit afraid i wouldn't be making it to the hopstial. we pulled up in front and ran in (at about 6:40). i tried to sit in a wheelchair but couldn't because it hurt! we went upstairs, checked in and waited for the triage room to be ready. it felt like it took forever, but jack said it took about 3 minutes. i went in the bathroom to change my clothes, got half way done and felt like i had to push. i screamed and the nurse told me to get on the table to check me (she didn't believe me!) she checked and i was 10 cm. i screamed all the way to the labor and delivery room (which was conveniently close!). i was afraid i wouldn't make it. luckily my doctor just happened to be in the hall and followed us to the room. after a couple of pushes and a lot of screaming she was out! she was born at 7:04... just an hour and 34 minutes after i woke up. i didn't have an iv and was wearing the shirt i came to the hospital in... after she was born, the nurse asked my name :)
