Let me introduce you to... Ruby!

sisters











Ruby Rose was born May 19th at 2:46 a.m. Labor began at 9:00 p.m. We left for the hospital at 12:30 a.m. Worst ride ever! Finally arrived at the hospital and at this point I cannot even talk I am in so much pain. Obviously, I ask for my epidural as soon as I can say something but soon find out the only anesthesiologist on call just went in for a c-section and won't be available for an hour. I'm a 4/5 when I arrive and then an 8 a half an hour later. I ask the nurses, "do you think I'll make the the epidural." They say, "no." I think that I'm going to die the pain is unbearable. I feel Ruby moving down ready to make her entrance but I am determined to get that epidural. Finally, it's been an hour , I'm now a 9 plus, and the anesthesiologist arrives just in time to give me my epidural and ten minutes later Ruby is born. I know people are saying you should of just done it natural. You were so close. But honestly, the pain was so bad and my contractions were on top of each other. I could not take another second. I'm thinking Ruby better love me extra because what I went through for her.
Thankfully, all is good. She's a great baby. We are so pleased to have her in our life. Being a mom of two feels like a lot of kids! I'm excited to see Naomi and Ruby down the road. I hope they are good friends and enjoy each other.

Congratulations! She is beautiful. I am so happy she is here and you both are healthy. Sorry the labor was so bad, I don't blame you for getting the epidural. Can't wait to see her. Hopefully you'll be showing her off at a family party this summer.

Oh my goodness! How cute is that baby! Adorable! Congratulations! I hear ya about the epidural. Mine wore off with Sam before he was born and I made the mistake of not getting it redone. Bad mistake. Unbelievable pain. I don't know who these crazies are that can do it natural.
