Sweet Baby P:)


That's right. Our sweet little girl arrived. Who would have guess she would have stayed put in my belly almost until her due date! She arrived quickly into this world just two days before her estimated due date.

Here's a little story about her birth: The week leading up to her birth, I had lots of false labor and thought multiple times that she would be here any moment. Thankfully God had planned the perfect moment for her to arrive. Early Monday morning, I woke to a contraction. Something that was a common night time occurrence. I used the restroom and climbed back in bed, only to have another contraction. This one was more intense then the normal ones, so I woke my husband. A few minutes later, another painful one. I just had that intuition that this was the real deal. I quickly called our sitter to come over and  we got ready to head out. Thankfully it was 4 am, and LA traffic hadn't started yet. By the time we got on the freeway that pain was intense, the contractions coming every 2 minutes or so, and I was feeling the urge to push! A terrifying feeling when your in the car and not a hospital bed. My husband drove the fastest ( yet still being safe) that I have ever seen him drive. We arrived at the ER ( the entrance after hours) and were pretty sure the baby would be born there. After a quick check, they felt like they had enough time to rush me up to Labor and Delivery. Rush they did... And I made it into a delivery room with two pushes to spare. Just 40 minutes after that first contraction, our sweet little P was born! We had expected it to go fast, but never guessed it would be quite that fast. 

Looking back, I was just so thankful she decided to come at night, as we would have never made it to the hospital and any other time of the day! We brought her home that next day and have been enjoying every second as parents to two sweet girls.
