Birthday Story

Better late than never, things have been kind of crazy around here with two kiddos and a mommy that can't lift or drive! But thank the Lord for great family and friends (and a great husband). If it weren't for them I don't know how I would have survived the first two weeks with two.
Little Miss Justley had to make things interesting for us this go around. I was scheduled to have her via c-section on June 14th secondary to fracturing my tailbone about a month prior. Dr said if I were to have her vaginal, I would risk injuring my tailbone even more. Since the date was set, it was in my head that that was the date and no way was it going to happen sooner!! haha
Well, ten days before this set date I decided it was ok to go to Sherman for a get together for one of my girlfriends birthdays. So against my mother's better judgment we headed up for the night with all intentions of coming straight home the next morning. My parents watched Hayden while we went to dinner with some friends. As soon as we got home and pretty much the second I laid my head on the pillow for the night I felt contractions. I laid there and timed them for about 30 mins before I woke Justin up, they were 10 mins apart but we were also an hour away from the hospital! Justin suggested I get up and walk around and see if they stop... nope. After saying "ok if I have one more then we will go" several times we finally got in the car and headed for Grapevine. They were getting closer together and stronger. We arrived at the hospital about 2am, and had to be monitored to make sure I was in true labor. We did this for over two hours because the contractions were still coming regularly but my cervix was not progressing. Finally Dr. Rost (not my actual dr, he was on a plane to Hawaii) decided he was going to go ahead and take her. And we had our precious baby girl before 7am Sat. morning!
