One week old already

I can't believe Cheyanne is already a week old ! I still feel like we just came home from the hospital ! I love watching her everyday and the new litle faces she makes and just staring at her while she sleeps. She has adjusted so well at home and actually lets mommy sleep about 2 to 3 hours at a time at night , she eats really good to so it helps so we don't wake up so much :) . Daddy on the other hand never seems to hear her in the middle of the night but it's ok because i cherish every minute while im home with her .

Her Birth Story

Cheyanne had defintly already started becoming stubborn like her daddy at 3am, Sunday, October 21st ! I had been having contractions every 2-5minutes apart and they were unbearable . We made a trip into the hospital to be admitted and see what was going on . I was only dialated to 1cm so they had me walk the hallways for over an hours to see if my cervix would progress. Sadly it had not so we got sent back home to wait . The following day we had a normal doctors appointment to be checked out so we went and only to be at 2cm then . Still had lots of waiting to do it felt like ! I had then went home that night and before bed lost my mucus plug . I called my doctor to see if i needed to come in and if it meant anything  , she told me not really and i wanted to i could go back to the hosiptal and be checked but we decided against that because I did not want to be sent home again it was starting to get irritating for me ! The following morning on Tuesday i was in excruciating pain from my contractions so i was up on and off every 5 minutes crying . Lets say Jordan did not get any sleep ! I then at 3am decided to take a bubble bath to help ease the pain and try to relax . I could no longer take it at 5:30 I called my doctor crying and told her i would be on my way to the hospital! I had been having the contractions so hard my body was begining to shake alot and i was getting cold . We got admitted at 6:15 and i was at 5cm !! YAY we knew she would be coming into the world finally ! I had tested positive for GBS so i was given antiobiotics so Cheyanne would not be sick when i delivered her .  I also did plan on having an epidural so that was the next step waiting for the doctor to get done with his patient before me to come have mine put in . I got the epidural around 11:15 then they did break my water as well for me to help progress things further along and faster . As far as things moving faster , they didn't . Once i dialated to about an 8-9cm my contractions had started to space out more which happens with epidurals usually . I did not want to start Pitocin so we held off as lons as possible until my RN suggested we do it so i could be out of my misery . I got started on the lowest amount at first at 5:45 and 20 minutes later i was ready to push ! I pushed for an hour and a half to then deliver my beauitful baby girl at 7:08pm !!!! I could not have been more overwhelmed with seeing her for the first time after wondering for 9 long months what she was going to look like . What was a very long 3 days will now turn into my life time of happiness for her daddy and I to enjoy as she grows up .
