On February 16th I started having contractions 2-3 minutes apart at 2:30 a.m., so at 4:00 we decided to go to the hospital when we got there I found out that my doctor was not on call. They decided that I was still a little early to have the baby I was just a couple of days from being 37 weeks. They ended up giving me 3 shots that were horrible to try and stop the contractions. (I can't remember what they were called) They made my whole body shake uncontrollably and my heart race. The contractions slowed down and they sent me home. On February 25th I went in for my regular doctor visit and my blood pressure was high. They sent me over to have an ultrasound and everything looked good with the baby. I went back over and had my blood pressure checked again and it was still high. So they sent me over to labor and delivery to get started and have my baby. They put a couple of pills on my cervix. The first one didn't do anything but the second one put me into labor and we had Olivia at 12:26 a.m. She weighed 5 pounds 13oz and was 19 inches long. She is so beautiful and I am always amazed at what a miracle it is to have a baby. I have absolutley loved having her. I never want to put her down. Noah and Madison have been so excited for their new baby sister. They give her lots of hugs and kisses. She has brought such a sweet spirit into our home.
