Jessica and I went to visit one of my dearest neighbors from my childhood yesterday, as she made us a beautiful quilt for Riley. As we were leaving, Jessica and she were discussing labor, and Jessica said, and I quote...
"I'm not going into labor. I could take off and head to California tonight, and I'd be fine."
We came home and prepped the house and went to bed. Around 1:15, I was awakened by Jessica moaning softly. Now, it's not been unusual for Jessica to be moaning with reflux or other assorted maladies recently. I sleepingly said, "Jessica, go to sleep... Have to be at hospital... four hours."
Imagine how awake I was when she said, "I've been contracting every 2-3 minutes for one and a half hours." No more dreams for me! Over the next coulple of hours, she began to have some bloody show and continued to contract, with increasing pain. Needless to say, we came to the hospital sooner than we were scheduled to arrive!
Long story short.... Jessica progressed through the first stage of labor and lost her mucus plug when the MD decided to bump up the C-section start time. Therefore, at 7:46 AM, Riley Elizabeth arrived!
