You see, with Luna I had to be induced. It was the perfect labor. I went in that night and gave birth without breaking a sweat (thanks to the lovely epidural). Lucy on the other hand was a complete different story.
So the morning that Lucy decided to come I wasn't feeling very well. I had been cramping all night having some mild contractions. But they didn't seem to be labor pains, or so I thought. I never experienced natural labor before so how was I supposed to really know? Anyways I took a shower and got dressed trying to soothe the cramping. After a few hours I got a little worried. I started Googleing what labor feels like and started freaking out. My husband kept saying "you aren't going into labor, and even if you are your contractions aren't that close together." I knew he was wrong, so I woke up my sister in law to tell her I was in labor so she could get the two little ones ready so we could go to the hospital. You see here on the military base Stephen and I can't get on base because we do not have military ID's. With only one vehicle my sister in law had to go. She always takes forever so I thought I would get her up early enough to get us to the hospital with no problem. Well... during the time it takes for everyone else to get ready my contractions went to only being a couple of minutes apart and extremely painful. The whole drive there was excruciating! I never wanted to have a kid naturally, but I had no choice.
Once I got there I had to set in ER until someone came from the maternity ward to get me. I thought it was never going to end.I kept begging for an epidural. Once I finally got in the room I was informed that I had no time for one. Then she came! Fortunately I wasn't one of those ladies that have to be in labor for hours and hours! Lucy was 8lbs. 1oz and 19 1/2 in long.
Here is Lucy and I right before we came home.
And this is Luna meeting Lucy
Now I have two little girls, and I can't wait to watch them grow up!
