Ramos Report: Baby Micaela

Micaela Elizabeth Ramos is here! She arrived March 9th at 5:01 pm weighing 8 lb 7 oz at 20 inches long. She's was born the biggest of all her Siblings which makes sense because she baked the longest. Even though there was no real hurry for her to be born there is something inside that just can't wait for babies to come. I thought I couldn't wait another minute. She came at the perfect time and was the easiest labor and delivery (after a hard pregnancy!)
I'd been having braxton hicks contractions for 8 weeks and sometimes they were strong and sometimes painful so i'd been praying that I would know when I needed to go to the hospital and when i was fine to stay at home. Then Thursday morning my water broke! An answer to my prayer! I called my dr and they said to go on in, so Jonathan came home from work and Jonathan's Mom came to watch the kids. We stopped by McDonald's for some breakfast, yum! WhenI got the hospital they said they were expecting me and I was the only person in Labor and Delivery that day so if i need anything there are plenty of people to help. They put in the epidural and then jump started the contractions so i missed all the pain! It was great! I probably only felt like 4 or 5 signifigantly painful contractions and nothing terribly painful. Delivery was only 5 to 10 minutes after around 5 hours in labor and she was here! A perfect precious little baby. she cried alittle bit and they put her right on me and I talked to her and she calmed right down. Then I gave her a kiss and she smiled! And she kept smiling when i kissed her. So sweet! She calms right down when we talk to her or hold her and it makes me feel so great. She is still in baby sleep mode so she is easy and snuggly. I absolutly love my snuggly sweet happy little girl.

Thus far Allie seems to like her. I thought it would be a disaster when she met her, but even when i held Micaela (and allie hadn't seen me all day) she just seemed interested in the baby insted of bothered. Allie was also distracted will all the 'no touch' items in the hospital room. She wasted no time trying to touch the computer and wires and open the drawers. I'm sure it will be different at home, but I'm pleased with the progress thus far!
