Guilt has most definitely crept in as a whole 2 years has gone by since my last post. I'd like to justify it and say I moved like 20 times and had another baby but really I guess it just came down to distractions and shaming. I'll have to post a whole other post on shaming though.
Anyways I had another sweet little girl. She's so precious and almost always has a smile on her face.
Adilynn Precy Cadavieco came exactly on her due date November 13, 2015 at 1:53pm. She weighed 7 lbs. & 12 oz. And was 19 in. long.
I truly had a great labor! I prayed and prayed that I would have an easier labor and my prayers were answered. I woke up at 6am with mild but consistent contractions. I just sat in bed and relaxed for a few hours as I watched youtube videos lol. Ithe was until about 8:30-9am that I finally told my husband I think she's coming today. Of course, after a week of on and off labor...he kind of told me okay you hang in there I need to go to work but I'm not getting my hopes up for today. He went to work for only an hour and a half before my S-i-Law called him to come home. At this point I noticed I had a couple leaked but wasn't sure of it was a water because it wa I was getting all our stuff together and put a show on for Avi (my 2 year old at the time) it was Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood the episode where his new baby sister comes home, it was so appropriate and got me so excited to meet my sweetheart. Once my husband got home that was when I started to feel them a lot stronger but still able to laugh smile and have a conversation through the contractions. I remember I was talking to my mom on the phone and she kept telling me to go to the hospital but I told her how I didn't want to go too early. For one, I always wanted my baby at home so I wanted to at least labor there for as long as possible at least. I guess I too had a fear of arriving there and only being like 5 centimeters dilated, and then having to labor there and have my progress slow down. So my husband made me a glass of raspberry leaf tea (I was drinking it for a week straight) and my other S-I-Law arrived (they were both my doula...we all together got trained to be doula and this was like a group project haha) once she arrived I started to feel my contraction very very low...pretty much in my bottom area. So we headed out and it was about a 25 minute drive and luckily I only had 3 contractions during the transport. When I got there I had to do paperwork and it was papework for in case I was released. The ladies almost seamed like they wereven expecting me to go home because I looked like a wasn't in pain. At this point I truly had to breathe through the contractions but I'm very quiet about it. So finally, they transferred me to the delivery room. Once I went to the restroom the checked my dilation...to mine and everyone's surprise, I was FULLY dilated! It was kind of comical. My midwife sped her way to the hospital which is normally a 30 minute drive but she took only 20 minutes to get their. Once she got there I had a tremendous amount of help from my doulas. But most of all I had amazing help from my husband he just knew the right things to say and he was right there hand in hand the whole time. There is actually a time that I had his arm and hand in my mouth. He got so scared when I was about to push because he thought that I was about to bite his arm really hard. Fortunately, he still has his arm LOL. Since I was fully dilated I started pushing and it was after about 20 minutes of pushing that I finally realized my body wasn't telling me to push I was just pushing because they told me to. So I so I waited and I kind of pretended to push LOL. Finally after to real pushes she came out. Then an amazing amount of Love filled every part of me. I'm so grateful for how fast and slightly easy my delivery was. I am also so grateful that I had such a great support system. But most of all I am so grateful that Heavenly Father answers prayers.
Daddys first time holding you.
