Do you know what happened the day after my last post?
No?
Ok, well then I'll tell you. I had a baby. Yep. Our little girl who wasn't due for another couple weeks decided to show her face early! I had spent the entire day out and about with my Mom. We did some fabric shopping, went out to lunch, and then I had a variety of doctors appointments over in Burlington. By the time I got home my ankles had swollen a bit and I was so tired I decided to take a nice hot bath before going to bed. Kyle and I hit the sack at 9 o'clock and not ten minutes later my water broke. So, we rushed to the nearest hospital (our local place where we had originally planned on a natural birth with the midwives there) just in case I had a prolapsed umbilical cord since my little peanut was breech. But, thank goodness, all was well with the baby when we arrived. Because I was having contractions and things were progressing so fast they decided to keep me there for the c-section rather than sending us via ambulance to the hospital in Burlington.
Two hours after we had arrived at Copley hospital we had a baby. She was born on 1/11/2011 at 11:27pm. We spent four days in the hospital recovering before heading home on Saturday. The past month has gone by in a flash and in just another couple weeks I'll be going back to working part-time which will be an adjustment. But parenthood is wonderful. Our baby girl is healthy, happy, and is growing like a weed.
So, without further ado, please meet the latest member of the family: Isabel.
