A new baby....

Ok. My due date was April 15th but baby decided not to wait. However, my baby girl decided to save her mom the pain of labor and go straight for a cesarean since whe was caught in the umbilical cord. Yes, I went in for a check up on Friday morning and ended up having to go straight to the hospital. By 1PM my baby girl came into the world crying her lungs out.

The week before my sister-in-law had her baby boy (3/27). One week later, I had my baby girl.

I had a feeling my baby was going to come early. I just didn't expect the baby to come this early. I also didn't expect not to go through some kind of labor. Everything went to fast it seems like a blur. I had my family going crazy. No sooner than I told my mom what was happening and telling her not to tell my sister that she called my sister. She was picking up my mom at work and heading to the hospital. My dad had taken me to the doctor and then ended up driving me to the hospital as well as taking care of my son.

I think everyone but my sis was surprised I had a baby girl. They really thought the baby would be a boy.

At least everything was for the most part ready to bring baby home. She's actually pretty good and loves to sleep. I just want her to sleep the night away but she still wakes up at least once which isn't so bad since my son woke up every 2 hours. I've been trying to keep her up in the evening so she can sleep the night but it's hard.

At least I have time to dedicate to my son. He's been great and such a little helper, too.

Well I have to go and do some housework before the baby wakes up.
