ONE MONTH ALREADY

So, Mya is 1 month today and I decided it was time to update the blog. It all started on the evening of Aug 28th.... I was super grumpy all day and my sister Carrie came over, she told me she thought I was going into labor. She insisted on taking Jaxon up to my Brother-in-law's house for the night, so I could get some rest. Well, she was right. Around 11 p.m. I started having some irregular contractions and they never became regular, but I listened to my hypnosis C.D. to stay relaxed. At 1 a.m. Carrie insisted that I go to the hospital, because she knew nothing about labor and birth, but felt concerned. I didn't want to go and even told Carrie "go home, you are making me feel stressed." We went to the hospital and arrived at 1:57 a.m.

The L&D nurse checked me and she said "I can't even feel your cervix, you are fully dilated" I was shocked! I told Carrie to call my mom and the nurse grabbed my doctor, who was sleeping at the hospital on call that night. When they returned I asked if I could push and before they could say "no" my water broke. Dr. Stowers finished getting ready and said "now it's okay to push". Two pushes later at 2:20 a.m. I had a baby girl! She was so calm as she sucked her little fist. I thought I was having a girl, but when I saw her and held her for the first time I was so excited to have a daughter and I was instintly in love with her.

I wish so much that Ryan could hold her, she is so SWEET. She rarely cries and rarely gets held d/t her busy brother. Mya is a little angel with a very calm spirit. So, here are some pictures:

After Mya's first bath, Jaxon stripped down and jumped in her tub to try it out. And this is the first time Mya and Jaxon met each other.
