3am on the 4th of sep 2007.

i rolled over looking at the clock seeing that it was 3 am i went back to sleep with this ache in my back, nothing much i took a panadol, it went away and i went back to sleep.

waking at 8am, my mum was taking my little sister to school, i had to clean my locker out before graduation so i went too.

coming home it felt like the baby was kicking me in my ribs again, she had been dong this for 2-3 weeks.

11am.
i was lying on the couch, mum called me to help her in the kitchen, walking in to the kitchen i was paralyised by a massive contraction. i couldn't move for about 2mins.

mum called the hospital they told me that it would be hours as this was my first. they told me to have a warm shower and walk around to lessen the pain, i got out of the shower and couldn't move.
mum called the hospital again and said that i was coming in, not because i was in pain, but i had high blood pressure and i was in and out of hospital in the 2 months, the midwife said that i was better off at home and was yelling at mum to keep me home.

11:30am
we got to the hospital and i had another contraction getting out of the car.
getting up to the ward i wasn't in pain but it wasn't comfortable either.

my bed wasn't ready yet so i had to sit in the waiting room, where i had another contraction this time in front, after throwing up i was seen by a midwife she didn't want to move me and do the exam there, but the other midwife (the one who didn't want me to come in) said that i had to go to a bed.

11:45am
my BF get's there.
the (nice) midwife does the exam.
(this bit was told after)
the midwife told me that i was 5cm but i was really 8.5cm.

12pm
was i up in the labour ward, high on gas.

1pm
my little sis comes in to see me, and makes me laugh, i told her that the gas is good S**T.

1:30pm
little Isabella comes into the world.
5 days late but she made up for it with a 2 and half hour labour.

weighing 7lb 4oz
length 51cm
