Here's mine:

The doctors thought I wouldn't be able to deliver naturally, but I did. I wanted to give birth in a birthing tub, but they didn't have them in my area. My daughter was about 5 days over do (did about three stress tests, etc). From my morning doctor appt. on April 20th, I went straight home to get my stuff together (didn't even have it ready) and called everyone because I was going to the hospital. Got to the hospital around noon got induced around 1:30ish or so...had to walk and walk around that wing for hours that day!!! My labor finally started at 7:55 pm and I had her naturally with no meds at 9:45pm that night. YES, that isn't a typo...my first one, that fast! Everyone was surprised that she come out naturally and so fast (although she was blue because she was stuck inside the canal and had to go straight to the chamber). No complications whatsoever, other than that. The only thing we missed was my husband getting to cut the cord and holding her as soon as she came out. My husband and mother went in the room with me - they said I was picking them up off the floor when I squeezed their hands! HA! My mother in law videotaped me the whole time before I went in the delivery room, when they brought her out and when I was ready to come out. The funny part on the video, the nurse brings out a boy (everyone was thinking it was going to be a boy - I think they just wanted one, since we have so many girls in my family), so you hear everyone cheer as the nurse holds that poor baby boy up without a blankie or diaper on....then, the right nurse comes out with a girl....course, they all cheered just as loud for her too! She was 7.9lbs and 22 inches long. She is 11 now and is 5'3 and skinny! I had to stay two nights waiting on paperwork to get finished, but that was okay....we had a beautiful, healthy baby girl.
