Tayla RaeLeigh has FINALLY made her appearance 10/22/07 @222pm 7lbs 9oz 19 1/2in!!! (and she is officially a girl too, I cant wait to wash all those outfits I was scared to earlier)
I woke up around 640am having regular (and way more intence) contractions. I had some serious bloody show and knew that it was the day (13 bags of red raspberry leaf tea helped I think) I ate and went to baby2see.com they have this contraction timer (its nice but you have to sit at your computer timing or hurry back as soon as you feel it) and after the first 30 hour i noticed the pattern.. And wow, they were 3 mintues apart!! I figured I was real close to delivering so I finally wake Jeremy up, get keegan ready and take a shower (I had to have my hair washed at least) The back labor was kicking in big time by now (ouch, thats all I can say, I wouldnt want for anyone to have to experience back labor ever!)so by the time we were headed to the hospital @ 9 things were pretty intence. We got admitted at 922am (at only 4 cms) and my doula got their at 1045, which was just about when I couldnt take it without her. I LOVED the birth ball, which I was leary about at first, she provided excellant counter pressure and I hoped in the tub about 12pm. After an hour I was about to my last self managing moment (they checked me at a 6). The back labor had taken its toll and of course that nurse came into see if I was ready for that epidural I didnt want and you know what I DIDNT GET IT!! NO DRUGS!!! just about the time that I gave up I felt the urge to push (not thinking that it was time as I was just at a 6 an hour ago) I did, my aunt (who is a nurse thank God) ran over to see the head crowning, I felt the ring of fire and literally went from labor hell to having the energy rush back to me, and I pushed...Hard.. My mom ran out to get a nurse, and I remember them saying as thgey rushed in "I dont care if they are sanitized get some gloves on now" and the charge nurse ran over to tell me to push hard and there she was total of 3 pushes! 222pm, Tayla was born no doctor present, heathy and most important to me DRUG FREE! It was amazing. All I can say is wow. I am sitting here looking at my beautiful baby girl instead of looking up the best way to self induce!
I hope all of you the best! Good luck with your pregnancies and soon to be beautiful babies to be!!! Thank you for your support!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
