Violet...


I still cant believe it's been a week since this beautiful angel entered our lives...
It all started tuesday i had spent the whole day having contractions non stop so around 3 p.m Daniel and I start thinking that this might be it! So we get our things packed and head towards the hospital, by this time my contractions were getting harder and closer together but as soon as we arrive to the hospital they stop,
well since we were already there we decided to get checked, so we go in and get checked they tell us I was dialated to a 3 which was improvment from last fridays check, i was only at a 1 at that time. So we head home and we are feeling exhausted we really thought that was it, i'm feeling disappointed, tired, and feeling like this baby will never come out i was already past my due date and we were just really hoping that we would get to meet our baby.
Daniel ends up going to sleep early and i stay awake till around 2 a.m then i decide to sleep, i woke up 3 1/2 hours later with killer contractions they felt just like the ones i had earlier so i didnt think much of them, i stay awake and Daniel wakes up for work i tell him to get ready fast because i really think this is it!
So we go back to the hospital they check me and i had dialated to a 5 they said i made alot of improvement and decide to admit us in, so we go to our room, by this time i was having really bad contractions, i had to squeeze Daniels hand and was pretty much yelling through them,
they prepped me up and i got an epidural, which was great till i noticed that it only numbed my right side and i could feel everything on my left they quickly got that taken care of and then we waited....
we waited forever!
It was around 9 a.m when i got the epidural, then they broke my bag at 6 p.m and then finally at 8:46 p.m baby Violet was born and she was the most beautiful thing both Daniel and I had ever seen, i got to hold her immediately after she was born she was still dirty and i didnt care i had my baby and thats all that mattered...
The rest of the night was just a blur the next thing i remember is waking up in my hospital room and realizing i just had a baby both Daniel and I still couldnt believe it but there she was in our room sleeping like an angel...

Full Moon...

So i was reading somewhere online that more women tend to go into labor during a full moon..

the theory is that the moons gravitational pull effects the amniotic fluid the same way it effects the water in the sea, rivers, and even the water thats otherwise found in our bodies. Under normal circumstances the pressure of labor contraction bursts the sac. During a full moon the pressure caused by the moons effect on the water inside the sac, can cause the same thing to happen without any of the accompanying contractions...

So after reading that i went to see when the next full moon would be and lo and behold the next full moon is September 4 which coinsidentally is my Estimated Due Date!

SO HERES HOPING THAT THE FULL MOON WILL HELP ME NOT GO A DAY OVER MY DUE DATE! :)
