My due date for Riley was May 10. During the last month of pregnancy, I felt like I couldn't wait for any longer. I had so much pressure on my tummy and my whole body was all swollen. I couldn't sit, stand or sleep for long at all. I had to go use the bathroom literally every 30 minutes! I just wanted to get over the whole process as soon as possible. Finally, my water broke on May 8th. I was told go check in Dr. Hamilton's office. In the mean time, Nathan was very nervous walking around house while trying to figure what to pack. After checking to ensure it's really water (not something else), he let me check into the hospital. Yay!! I was pretty excited. :)
Since I was only 4 cm dilated, I was given Pitocin for induction.
After being induced for 10 hours and pushing for an hour, Our baby finally landed on daddy's hands on May 9, 2012. Thank you Dr. Hamilton. He was awesome throughout the whole process and guess what? He's staying with me for the whole pushing time. Of course, my hubby did great for supporting as well. Welcome to the world, Riley! She was born 7lb 7.6 oz and 21in long.
We've created this blog so we may share Riley's life stories with you all friends and family. :)
