Our sweet Isabella Dora decided to grace us with her presence a day early! She was scheduled to arrive via c-section on July 18...however, this little lady got her way when she decided to arrive early on
Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at 10:51 am.
Here's the story...
I woke up that morning around 3 am with contractions...they didn't seem all that bad, but they didn't let up either...I decided not to wake up Clint right away, in case they went away...and prayed that they would stop...I'm all about schedules and she wasn't scheduled to come yet :-) Plus, Clint was going to be working an hour away from home that day...so my prayer was that they would stop or that we'd be at the hospital in a few hours. Sooooo, when they didn't stop, I woke Clint up around 5 and we decided to get around to go to the hospital. Mom was able to come pick Wyatt up and we were on our way to the hospital.
We arrived around 7:30...the nurse checked me out and I wasn't dilated at all. I wanted to go ahead with a c-section if possible...so she checked with Dr. Morgan, who was on call that day, and when she came back she said we were all set to go! A c-section had just gone in, so we'd have to wait about 1 1/2 hours. They took us back to our room to wait and we ended up being next door to my cousin Kyle and his wife Christina, who had just had their baby girl Paige on Sunday.
I labored for the next hour and a half and then went back to the operating room. It was a bit different this time, knowing what to expect and also knowing that Ella was just fine. Also different because they had music playing in the operating room when I got in there...this seemed a bit odd...and no joke, when Ella arrived at 10:51 am, 'Welcome to the Jungle' was playing!
Finally meeting our sweet baby girl was so amazing! She is just so precious!
