So... on Saturday, August 9th I woke up feeling like things were going to be a little bit different... sure enough - by 10:27am I had my first contraction and decided to monitor it from there...
The last belly shot - obviously it was bigger than I thought since 2 separate hospital staff members asked if I was having twins!!! Didn't notice it getting so big!
After baking a carrot cake, playing a game of farkle, trying to read, trying to take a nap, watching some Olympic games... my contractions were coming more steadily and intensely so by 6:45pm I decided it was time to go to the hospital. Here we are for the last time as just the 3 of us!!!
Thankfully we got to the hospital when we did because we had a bit of a misunderstanding about the insurance papers... after 10 minutes of trying to figure it out (with contractions still coming on) we checked into the emergency room and all was fine. By 7:45pm we were settled into room 716 where we'd spend the next 3 nights.
Thank God for pain relievers!!! After they put this in, my mind was much more at ease...
Helena arrived at 10:45pm on August 9! What a beautiful little girl!
Thanks to our neighbor Simon, mom was able to be there waiting for us to deliver... so by midnight she finally met little Helena!
Our precious girl
