Baby girl is here!

i was due August 7th but yesterday when I went to a festival with my husband I had unbareable pressure walking around so we went to labour and delivery. I have had a shortened cervix since 21 weeks and was dilated 2cm at my last doctors appointment. When we got to l/d They checked me and I was dilated to 4 cm. they admitted me and after an hour of painful contractions I opted for the epidural. I had a really relaxed and calm night and at 4 am felt the need to push. At 4:23 am our daughter Natalie was born 5lbs 15oz at just 36 weeks 1 day. She is doing incredibly well and is in the room with me. She has no breathing or eating issues. The only thing is she is having a little trouble keeping her sugar levels up. She is fine after a feeding but her levels are down before her feeding. So they want her levels to always be up before she is fully in the clear. I am so in love she has a head full of dirty blonde hair and is absolutely perfect!! Good luck to all you beautiful mamas the end is near and everything is worth it!!
