Kyla Lynn 5/28/04

This one was really hard to accept at first, my boys were one and two and we were living with my brother, his GF and her four kids, because we were evicted from our apartment, when low and behold I'm pregnant. I was terrified to tell hubby, I was crying and I said "We have to talk", he said "your pregnant aren't you?" when I nodded and continued to cry he said "Hey, we can do this, so we weren't expecting it, but we can do this, it is fine" I still love him for how strong he was at this time.

We worked hard and got back on our feet, DH worked two jobs for a while and then we were back in our own place, we were truly going to be fine. And once again, the baby did NOT want to come out! At 42wks I had tried everything..even sex! STOP! Don't picture it, it wasn't pretty! May 27th, I called up my mom and asked her to pick me up and lets just walk around...anywhere! So we wandered around varies stores until around 10pm when she dropped me off at home. I go and climb in the tub to get cleaned up, resigned to the fact I was still pregnant. DH  came in a sat on toilet and we just talk about our day when I felt this weird sensation, like popping a bubble gum bubble in your mouth...but on me in was LOWER. I turned to DH and say "I think I popped?" He was like "what?" So I stood up and we see a milky fluid trickling down my leg...it was not bath water, but also not a gush. 

So I get out and we call Norla at the BWC to let her know whats up and she tells us to hang around home until contractions start then come on in. Well as I hung up the phone I got my first contraction, and it was a humdinger! We called Norla right back, because I just knew we were going to be fast, my last labor was 4hrs. Then we start calling family and friends to get someone to watch the boys. My MIL is the one who usually does so that my mom can be with me, but she didn't answer her phone. So we call my mom, phone is knocked off the hook. Couldn't reach ANYONE!! We give up and start loading the boys in the car thinking he will be with them upstairs and I would labor alone, when my savior BIL, Josh calls and agrees to meet us at the BWC, thank god! Because Kyla Lynn was born 20mins later, after just one hr of labor on 5/28/04, she weighed 8lbs9ozs and 21in, she was in a hurry.

Jun. 6, 2008 at 9:18 PM  I was 'blessed' with quick labors also.  I was glad I got induced with my last, it went really fast.  She broke my water, and at that time I was 3 cm dilated, and 15 minutes later I wanted an epidural so they wanted to check me and she was right there.  I had to hold the urge to push though because I was in the hallway of the hospital since the rooms were not available yet.  They got me a room really fast luckily, and none of the poor guys in the waiting room had to witness anything gross.  I think I had about 4 contractions, and that was it, but they were really strong ones!!!
