Hey guys! I had my little girl early. :-) Monday at 7:30pm my water suddenly broke. I was unsure as to what it was. I thought maybe it was my bladder until it started coming out more. I called my doctor up and due to the fact I was only 36 weeks along, they told me to go to my hospital and see what it is. As soon as the Q-tip turned Navy blue, they got me ready. I was asleep during the whole dialation process. At 5am I woke up with pressure in my pelvic cavity. The doctor examine me and said I was 8cm along. I was able to still get the epidural done..which was a god send! At 7:30am I started pushing and by 8:48am, My lil Gracie was born :-) It was so surreal when they handed her to me. So far, not so much crying and she's been very content. Right now we are nicely settled in at home. :-)

She was 6lbs, 2oz. Now she is 5lbs 11 oz. We had to switch her formula around because she would have reactions to each one. First it was diarreah, then it was soy being too much so she's spit up. Right now she is on Similac Hypoallergenic. It's scarry having a premie cause you don't know what to expect. She's also Jaundice so the pediatrician wants to see her each week for bilirubin and weight.
