Stomach Pains?

I woke up this morning with terrible stomach pains. I originally thought they may be gas pains, but after taking some medicine and an hour without the pains subsiding, I realized they were contractions. They were sporadic and not too terrible so I wasn't too worried. I called Matt to give him the heads up, but told him not to come home yet.

I had an OB appointment in the early afternoon, so I left Mikayla with Mom Mom Krupka and off I went. When I got there, the doctor told me I was 5cm dilated and that I was going to have the baby today! I called Matt and told him to get home! I went home and waited for him. We took off shortly after he came home and I was in serious pain.

We arrived at the hospital and I asked for an epidural. They completed all of the preliminary requirements for an epidural just in time. My epidural worked this time!

I rested for a little while after my epidural kicked in...it was so nice. After an hour of rest, the doctor told me it was time to push. I began pushing and all of the nurses took guesses at the gender of the baby. They all guessed a boy. After 15 minutes of pushing, we found out that they were all wrong! It's a girl!

We were asked for her name....but we didn't have one. Guess that will have to wait for now.
Because my whole family was already at the hospital with my mom (she had surgery earlier in the week), Mikayla was also there. Kristi brought her down to meet her new sister. Boy was she excited!We are so blessed to have two girls!
