Well everyone... I got my wish. Baby Sophia Elyse Ross was born yesterday morning at 8:53AM. Pretty unexpected and crazy... Here are the stats:
Sophia Elyse Ross
Born Sunday, June 29th, 8:53AM
6 lbs 12 oz.
19 1/4 long
(Almost identical to Wyndham's... so funny)
4:15AM: Labor began... thought I just had to go to the bathroom
6AM: Got out of bed to pack and tell Randy- pain getting more intense very quickly
7AM: Neighbors arrive to stay with Wyndham
7:15AM: Try to figure out why I can't find any clean underwear to pack and worry that I can't say bye to Wyndham before we leave
7:20AM: Neighbor and loving friends kindly kick us out of the house as I continue to have contractions every 2 minutes
7:25AM: Leave for the hospital
7:26AM: Realize that our car is below E on gas...
7:27&AM: Scream/cry and pray aloud that God will get us to the hospital before we A: Run out of gas and B: Have the baby in the car
8AM: Screech into the ER in Canton and fall into a wheelchair
8:15AM: Arrive in the birthing unit
8:53AM: Sophia is born
Sophie was here at 8:53AM... needless to say, Randy almost had to tap into his Grey's Anatomy skills halfway to the hospital. The unfortunate thing was that because I so far into active labor when I arrived, they weren't able to give me any kind of medication for the pain. Yeah- my worst nightmare. Sure, sure, I had aspirations to have a natural birth...a long time ago...before I had Wyndham. When you are doubled over in the worst pain and the only thing left to do is push a child into the world, you feel a little trapped and without options though. Thankfully, God gave me the strength and Sophia was born healthy, alert and content.
She looks a lot like Wyndham did when she was a newborn. Fuzzy brown hair, cute pouty lips and very alert to her surroundings. As with all newborns, she looks like a cute little old man which I love. She just needs a plaid vest, a derby hat, corduroy pantaloons and a pipe:) Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!
