its so insane how fast time goes by.
Today was also the first day we tried a bottle. She did great! and now mike can feed her to :D

Today we broke out her boppy; so that way I could hopefully get some cleaning done. She likes it; its so comfy she goes to sleep....but at least I could get some things done.

Morgan is 4 days old! We spent all day with michael and morgan got her first ride in the stroller. She loved it.
We also had our first "new parent" moment....it was our first time going out with the baby; we got the stroller out, her diaper bag and then her! we went for a walk....and come back to the car to find one of us had left one of the car doors wide open amongst the chaos of getting everything ready! oops.
(luckily nothing valuable was in the car and nothing got stolen)

Morgan is 3 days old already; all dressed and ready to go visit her daddy after he got off work.

One day old! Morgan is a very alert and happy baby; she barely cries and loves to have her diaper changed.

September 4, 2009

Friday morning at around 230am my water broke naturally! I was going to be induced at 730 but there was no need :] After an epidural, 11 hours of labor and 1 and half hours of pushing.
Morgan Elizabeth Battista was born at 1:24pm.
Weighing in at a shocking 8lbs 10oz and 20 and a half inches long. She's perfect.

Round 2.

I went again to the hospital; I had made no progress so I got another round of gel...this time it was much less painful. I will be going to the hospital at 730 am to be induced; since this round of gel ive actually been feeling contractions which i am honestly happy about! My baby should be born today but we'll see just how stubborn she is.

First Trip to the Hospital.

I had an ultrasound done at the OB to make sure Morgan's fluid levels were fine; they were! So we then headed to my appointment at the hospital. The nurses hooked me up to the monitor (to watch the baby's heartbeat and my contractions) 45 minutes later the nurse realized the doctor who was going to do my first round of gel...actually was not in the hospital he left not realizing his shift didn't end yet. So after they finally got a hold of him he came in; and checked my cervix i made it to 1cm dilated by myself! haha I was actually so proud of this...they inserted the gel and had to monitor me for another hour. It was a long day; but the gel will hopefully soften my cervix and help labor progress. My contractions have gotten stronger; but I am still okay so ill be waiting it out until my 2nd appointment tomorrow!
