Once I stopped on your's, I noticed that you live in CS. So, I felt the need to comment. My husband and I were born and raised in Bryan, so CS is like our home too! We moved from there about six years ago. Miss it!Great place to live!<BR/>Your daughter is a cutie!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639279242792614914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32595353.post-62851299028431693902008-09-19T11:38:00.000-05:002008-09-19T11:38:00.000-05:00They sent me home with an Ambien as well.

It was the most horrible thing they could have done for me because I woke up in sheer terror and panic every six minutes all night long as I had back labor and her little baby skull was pressing on my spine with every farking contraction. It was much easier the second night of labor when I was drowsy but not knocked unconcious between my six-minute apart contractions.<BR/><BR/>(You know how they tell you to go to the hospital when your contractions are 5 minutes apart for an hour? Mine were six minutes apart for 42 hours and they kept sending me home. They were about to send me home again when my water broke and they sped up to 5.5 minutes apart. At 46 hours, they offered me an epi. I offered to put it in myself.)<BR/><BR/>But I do want to give this encouraging tidbit--second babies are soooo much easier. 5 hours instead of 52. 2 pushes instead of 2.5 hours of pushing.~Gretchen~https://www.blogger.com/profile/03277161027743471684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32595353.post-56329923814144571812008-09-18T20:41:00.000-05:002008-09-18T20:41:00.000-05:00Reading this cracked me up - I can just hear you s...Reading this cracked me up - I can just hear you saying it in my head, and I can't help but to giggle audibly. Oh, and my advice about the first birthday gift is to save your money until she's old enough to realize she's being gypped - stick with something small and cheap. I'm sure you won't do that - we didn't either with our first kid, but you get smarter the next time around. Surely you've bought her something by now, but no worries - Christmas is in a few months and you can stiff her just as easily then. Take the money you WOULD spend on Caroline's Christmas present and go out to eat, instead.

Thanks for taking the time to share the whole thing. My induction went great, but you have a much more fun story. <BR/><BR/>what other color cast would I choose?
