Where to begin... I couldn't have asked for a better delivery of our baby girl! They started the pitocin around 1:00pm Last Wednesday and by 10:13pm I was holding Victoria Rose!
Giving birth was the most amazing experience, there is nothing like it. There really aren't too many gory details...I was feeling the pain pretty hard when I was Dilated to 5cm, feeling like I might not make it to the end I asked for some Demerol. I remember breathing through some strong contractions and watching the nurse give the drug, then all of the sudden I had the urge to push...they checked me and sure enough I was dilated to a 10. I went from 5cm to 10 in 25 minutes, pushed for about fifteen and out came baby Victoria...the most surreal moment of our lives!
I had an awsome team of nurses who were very supportive of my wanting to go all natural and of course I couldn't have done it without the love and amazing support of my husband!
Now that Tori is home life couldn't get any better! The whole experience of having a child and the love as parents we have for Victoria is...to put it simply...a feeling that can only be felt to understand completely... There is nothing like finally looking into your baby's eyes, or watching tears roll down your husband's cheek as he holds her in his arms.
I could go on forever... but the baby is hungry!
The movers are coming tomorrow so there may not be another post until we are in Maryland1 Thanks for everyone's prayers and love!
