Gracie's Arrival
On Saturday, November 15, I attended the Fayetteville Cares Boots & Booties World's Largest Military Baby Shower. As it ended, I began to have painful contractions. Nothing terribly new; I've been having contractions off and on since November 4. I headed for home, but remembered we were out of coffee and trash bags and only had a bit of milk left so I would have to stop by the commissary. We had dinner at our neighbor's house across the street and the contractions continued to be painful and got closer together. Our neighbors generously volunteered to watch the boys for us as we headed to the hospital. They put me in triage and checked me after an hour and said I was still only 1 cm dilated but they wanted to keep me and recheck me due to my pain level and description of the contractions. After 2 hours, I'd made progress so they decided to go ahead with the surgery a few days early. The surgery went very well. Graceanne Gabriella was born at 2:35 am on November 16, 2008. She weighed 6 lbs, 4.5 oz and was about 19" long.
