A year ago today, my water broke while I was watching an episode of Kendra (don't judge) and blowing my nose lol. I woke uo with a horrible cold and when my husband was leaving to work I jokingly said "I'll be calling you later to come home from work." I had no idea Gabriella was going to make an appearance. I was still only 2 cm dialated so I thought she would come on or after her due date. I called my husband and told him not to even come home we still has hours to go. I was in no pain and didn't feel any of my contractions. I then called my mom who of course was ready to leave work right then and there. I called my doctor and they told me to go in so after a shower, make-up, hair and a quick text to my sis I was off to the hospital with my tissue box in hand.
Once we got there I was in the waiting room for about an hour. I think they forgot about me until I went to the nurses' station and was like "hello, I am leaking here!" That caught their attention. I have to say my nurses were FANTASTIC, especially Kristen. I could not have asked for a more patient, kind and sweet person to be therethat night. Of course I had my support team of my husband and mom who decided to eat chocolate in front of me when I could not eat lol. However, Kristen was there to the rescue with some frozen pops and ice chips. After about an hour and a half of pitocin (since I was not progressing) the contractions came and they came hard! I can remember it like was yesterday! While the pain was excruciating, I loved every minute of labor and 17 hours later, my princess was in my arms.
So as I type this and look back, I am looking at my baby girl feeding herself some toast with applesauce all while offering me a bite. Today will be mommy and Gabby cuddling day (after some errands of course). I want to cherish every last minute with her as an "infant" before her 1st birthday.
