On Friday was feeling contractions on and off, so my hubby made me walk around went out to eat at a place that's outdoors to keep me moving. They started being 4-5 mins apart but nothing to painful. I was having pinkish discharge and her movements weren't as active so I was getting a little worried. Decided to go into the ER later in the night. 

The nurse said I was definitely having contractions but 5-8 mins apart, I was dilated but only 1 1/2 which meant I would go home.  Understandable since I wasn't in active labor (we were disappointed). Checked her fluids through an ultrasound and she looked great just not ready! 

We head home... The nurse did say I could take some Tylenol pm to help get some rest and relieve the pain so I planned on taking one. Of course hubby knocks out within an hour! Me! I decided to eat something spicy since I read it helps induce labor lol. I also took one of the Tylenol but it didn't help with anything bc now my contractions we're 6 mins apart consistently. While he was snoring I was awake every 6 mins but wanted to wait it out till they became closer. 

Saturday morning now! 

Contractions start fluctuating between 3-4 mins. I get showered and make sure everything's in my hospital bag. Texted my mom to come bring our son to my dad since I want her with me of course! Meanwhile even though the contractions weren't very close boy oh boy they were painful but didn't want to get my hopes up. I could tell hubby felt the same bc he was taking his sweet time getting ready.. I wanted to punch him in the throat 

We get to hospital and start to monitor the baby and my contractions. The nurse comes and says they'll check me meanwhile these contractions are getting worse and worse! She does and I was 4cm! YAY! My baby will be coming today is all I could think of💜. 

They send me up to a labor and delivery room and schedule me for the epidural. About 10 mins later the annertisioligist comes to ask a million questions ... "Do you have any piercings" me: 😳😳 (in my head shit forgot to take out my kitty one) I say yes but I don't know if I can reach down there to get it out. He says well I'm not lol. My mom says I'm not doing that cause piercings freak me out, my best friend/ baby's godmother says if I have to be all in it then I guess so lol, hubby says I only have half a thumb I won't be able to grab it hahaha (he cut it off during a work accident he does concrete). Needless to say I struggled with my long nails and big belly to reach but I got it! 😁 my water was breaking while in bed but bc I wasn't at 10cm it wasn't giving the baby fluid to move. I had to get a catheter that pumped fluid into me for her then one into my bladder bc it was gonna make me pee more. So now im all set... Family down in the waiting room, my mommie(Robin) hubby(Manny) and best friend(Tanisha) in the room with me keeping everyone updated and Just patiently waiting to get to 10cm.  

Before I knew it BOOM it's time!!! The nurse says lets do a couple of test pushes. I pushed about 3 times and she says great to me but says everytime I have a contraction the baby's heartbeat gets very low. They put me on oxygen and call the Drs in. They have me push again during 3 contractions but as I do again her heart rate dropped down to 60/70 everytime she's going into distress everytime. 

All I felt was extremely panicked, scared and nervous for my baby I haven't got to hold in my arms. I'm crying at this point. Manny grabs my hand he's crying but says I love you so much babe I'm scared right now but your tough and so isn't the baby you can do this! Tanisha kisses my forehead and says I'm trying to be strong but can't help crying bc I love you both its going to be ok. My mommie took a minute to come back over bc she's very emotional and didn't want me to see her crying bc she's knows it will make me cry even more, she comes over puts her forehead on mine and says I love you so much daughter and love my granddaughter were strong women I know your scared and nervous but you can do this I'm right here! The dr obviously sees me crying and asks me what am I most scared about? Stupid question if you ask me but I respond: my daughter! I don't care about myself right I just want her to come out and be okay! She says that in order to get her out faster they recommend using forceps to help. I start crying even more with fear, manny puts his head down on my hand bc he's crying more too. She asked if that okay? I said if I have no choice I'll do whatever for her to be okay. She says I want you to know when you tell the story of delivering your daughter make sure you know the forceps isn't your fault or anything your doing wrong I know you can push her out the reason for having them is bc her rate drops when you push. She explains I will feel some pressure and may tear I know she was explaining more but at this point my mind was so focused on getting her out I couldn't process anything else. She says okay Norelle the forceps are in place were gonna have to push on the next contraction! I grab manny's hand my mommies hand bear down and push one big time! She says again.. I pushed! They all say we can see her one more time.... I bear down again to make this one longer then the last! They all say she's coming hold it and I felt her come out all this pressure release!!! She's screaming and crying I lose it bc I hear my babygirl and they say she's okay mom she's out she's breathing. My mommie cut my sons cord so she wanted to cut hers and they say look at the cord! It had about 4 huge KNOTS! Which is why she kept going into distress the knots were so large it was stopping oxygen to her during a contraction! 

They check her make sure everything is okay so we can have skin to skin! She's perfect :) Manny says she came out at 6:25 on 6/25 baby she made an entrance for us, I said if she weighs 6 16 that will be so awesome. They bring her over for skin to skin and that was by far the best feeling in the world just like when I did it with my son 8 years ago😍

Naliah Marie was here! 6:25pm on 6/25 weighing 6 lbs 14oz 19 in!
