Emree's Birth Story (the short version):

I started having contractions Wednesday afternoon. I left work and went to the labor and delivery unit at the hospital. When I went up to the desk, one of the office gals looked at the other with kind of a "panic" and said "Where are we going to put her?"

Aparently the hospital was extremely full! At that point, I was dialated to a 4 and having regular contractions, but because they weren't strong enough or close enough together they sent me home because, as my doctor put it, "there's no room at the inn."

It ended up being a good thing though, because Emree wasn't ready to come just yet... I continued having contractions all that night and the next day, but they never got stronger or closer until about 6:30 on Thurday we decided to go into the hospital again. At this point, my contractions were strong enough that I couldn't talk or walk though them and I was sialeted to a five. They kept me for an hour to monitor, but warned me that if I didn't dialate more in that hour that they were going to have to send me home again because there simply wasn't room at the hospital. Luckily, by the end of that hour I was dialated to a 7+ and well on my way to having a baby!

Emree was born just 2 1/2 hours later (with no anesthetic - I'm proud to say)

She is just as healthy as can be! There were no complications, and it was all a very smooth, perfect birth. We are very excited to have her (even Shae is - she is a GREAT big sister)
