11:45 pm- Water Broke
November 29th
12:15 am- Checked into Mountain View Hospital
(contractions getting stronger & closer together)
12:45 (ish) am- Nursed check for dilatation and realized that she had stuck her finger in poor Abigail's bum causing her to have a bowel movement, by this time I'm dilated to a 7. Abby is breach and the nurses have determined we need to have an emergency C-Section. By now contractions were much stronger and consistently one on top of the other and I have lost track of what time it is.

David suiting up for the operating room :) He was so wonderful! I really thought he was going to pass out but he watched the whole thing including the epidural- which I was SO grateful to have.

With the exception of our marriage, this was the best moment of my life.
There is no way to describe the way a mother feels when she's seen her baby for the first time and I'm sure David would say the same about being a Dad for the first time. (He's so smitten by her!)

We Love you miss Abigail!
