Okay, so I am feeling much better after the c-section now. I didn't realize exactly how long it would take me to recover from it. I am up and about. I even got a good deal on a baby crib today. So far we just had a bassinet because the baby is in our room for now, but the deal on the crib was just too good to pass up. Nothing really interesting happened today. Sorry I am so very boring today. Hope to have more interesting things to write about tomorrow.

Well I am sorry to have been missing for so long. I have a good excuse this time....LOL! I went into the hospital on March 18, just like I thought I would. My contractions started on March 17 at about Noon. I went to the hospital when they were about six minutes apart. That was March 18 at about Noon. I had already been in labor for 24 hours, and I thought that it would go pretty quick once I got to the hospital. I guess I was in for the shock of my life. This is how I know that occasionally I get a little complacent. I was sure I knew exactly how this labor was going to go. Well I labored, then finally at about 5 pm my water broke. Naturally I expected to be done by 9 pm. By 9 pm I was dilated to 8. I was sure I would have this baby by Midnight. At Midnight, I was still only dilated to 8. I was so tired, and the contractions were getting really strong, so I was looking forward to hard and strong contractions that I would be able to push through soon, and have my baby. The contractions continued and they were strong and close together, but I was still not dilating the rest of the way. I was scared and nervous. My girls at home were missing me terribly, as well as the fact of the one in my tummy was in distress. I was in terrible shape emotionally. Long story short, I never progressed, I spent 43 hours in labor till they decided to take her by c-section. It was okay, the look on David's face when they pulled Melody from my tummy, was amazing. He is such a wonderful father, for both the older girls, and for the baby. He is amazing, why didn't I find him from the start??????
Anyway, after all of that, we went back home to pick my mom up. She is staying with us for about a month. It is wonderful having her here. I like it that she is here to help, but I also like it that she is here to see where I live and see more of the world.
I have to go, rest calls my name. I have had lots of complications with this delivery.
