Welcome to the world Charlie...



Just to let you know…
…we just made it to the hospital, of course, after Matt had a shower (casually of course - until I yelled at him while in mid-contraction) and we stopped at Tim Horton’s so he could get a coffee. He was so excited he forgot to ask me what I wanted - just water. We really thought we had more time. My water broke at 3:00am and by the time we got to the hospital and checked in it was 4:15am and contractions were coming every 2 minutes. At about 4:30am I was measuring 6cm and about 5-7 minutes later I was 8cm. I was about to get my epidural when the contractions were coming hard and fast so I had them check me and realized that the epidural was not going to kick in on time SO I decided to just go for it! PAIN – is all I have to say! But within a few minutes (4:50am) she was out with no tear or rip. And then I just felt great and like normal. All the excruciating pain was gone and here was my little girl. Apparently I almost broke Matt’s hand. Oh well! She is wonderful, beautiful and just lovely.
