More of Myah

Well I thought that I would write a little bit about the day Myah came. More for my personal record since this is somewhat my journal, so don't feel inclined to read. I was scheduled for an induction on Fri. I had been dialated to a 3 for two weeks and was having a lot of contractions. Just nothing serious. The week before I had her I had called my sister to come sleep over 3 times just incase I went into labor during the night---I was sure she was coming soon! On Wed. night I had contractions every 5 min. for three hours and finally called Labor and Delivery. They said that the contractions needed to be 2-3 min. apart before I could come in. Well the contractions continued about every 5-10 min. The next morning I called to make an appointment with my midwife just to see if anything was going on. They fit me in, in the afternoon and low and behold all of those contractions hadn't done anything. I was still a 3+ and 70% effaced. My midwife told me I might go into labor that night but she would just plan on seeing me in the morning for my induction (this is a key part to the story!). Well that night we took the kids to my moms and Darin and I went to the movie and out to dinner. The next morning I started calling the hospital at 7:30 a.m. My friend had been induced earlier in the week and had to wait all day so I was expecting the same. They told me it would be around noon. Well at 10:00 I called again and they said around 2:00. Well at 1:30 I called and they said "Great news, three women just delivered and we are ready for you." Yeah----I thought. Only to have them ask me who my doctor was. When I told them my midwife's name they said "Oh no, didn't they call you?" I was thinking---"oh great!". Well come to find out, my midwife could only deliver me in the morning because she was going out of town for the weekend. Since the hospital was to busy, she had to give me over to the doctor on call and he was too busy to induce me that day!!!! My midwife had never mentioned any of this to me, so I was frustrated to say the least! Anyway we ended up spending a childless afternoon together. The boys wanted to stay at my mom's house so I just had a day to sit and wait! Well the next morning it started all over again. By the time the hospital was ready for me it was around noon. They got me hooked up on Pit around 1:00 and the doctor broke my water around 2:00. I soon got my epidural and by 6:00 I was ready to push. The doctor was at home so we waited about a half of an hour for him to come and then 15 min. of pushing later, little Myah was born. Everything went well and the doctor that ended up being on call was the same doctor that delivered Camden so it wasn't that big of a deal. He is a really good doctor. Myah had the cord wrapped around her neck so I was glad that he knew what he was doing. I was really looking forward to delivering with a midwife---I've heard they are great, but maybe I will just stick with the doctor since I seem to end up with them anyway. We were able to come home on Mon. morning and life has been crazy ever since. Myah has such a sweet spirit though and I just look at her and I'm amazed that she just came from Heavenly Father. If only I knew what she knew inside of that tiny little head of hers. I always have thought it would be amazing if babies could talk---oh the things that they could tell us! The boys are loving her and constantly just want to sit by her side and watch her. The other day I asked Camden what he wanted to do and he just smiled and said "I think I will just watch Myah". As crazy as a new baby is, I am so thankful to have such a special little person at our home. I love all of my kids and am just so grateful to have them in my life!
