Emma came into this world on August 5, 2008. She was scheduled to come one week earlier, but had her own plans, and I was induced. My mom came down on the day of the induction. Tommy and I were to be at the hospital at 6. We were extremely anxious to arrive, and arrived early. The nurses were surprised to see us because they wanted us to come the night before...as there was no room at the inn on the 5th. They sent us home. Emotionally, I was extremely upset. I didn't want to leave the hospital without my baby (at the time we did not know Emma was a girl). Tommy and I went to the Hershey Pantry to get something to eat (I couldn't eat anything) and then we met my mom and went home. Mom and I watched some TV, went shopping, and then it was time for me to go be induced.
It was an easy induction. Things were moving along nicely...until I hit 6 cms. At that point, I was at 6 for quite some time, and they decided to do a C-Section. I wasn't too upset about it, as the previous year my sister had one too.
Emma Lee was born at 10:37 on Tuesday, August 5th. She weighed in at 7 pounds 12 ounces and was 20 inches long. She was so beautiful and looked just like her father. Tommy and I were unable to experience her first cry since I had general anesthesia, but we have happily experienced everything since.
