Labor Story!
On Friday 2/5 at 11pm my water finally broke! I had a membrane sweep that Wednesday and ever since then, I was having inconsistent contractions and was losing large pieces of my mucous plug/having a bloody show! From 7:30pm Friday until my water broke, I was having minor contractions about 6-8 minutes apart. But once my water broke--everything stopped.
I called my parents (who live an hour and a half away) and they headed up to watch my older kiddo (he's 21 months). By the time I got to the hospital it was 2:30am, and still no consistent contractions! They checked me in and monitored baby for a bit and we tried EVERYTHING to get labor started on its own. After 24 hours of my water breaking and still no progress, we made the decision to start a low dose of pitocin. I was super scared, but I felt I was just delaying the inevitable.
We stared the pitocin at 10:00pm on the 6th, and a half hour later, contractions came hard and fast! I labored on my side for a bit, then standing leaning on my hubby and then on all fours leaned over a peanut yoga ball. I pushed kind of side laying, and at 12:55 am on the 7th little man was born! 2.5 hours from first contraction to baby's arrival and no meds! He was sunny side up too! 💙
I feel completely different than after having my first! He came relatively fast as well (5 hours) but I tore in a super awkward spot and had rebroken my tailbone 😩 recovery was HORRIBLE. This time around I feel amazing and recovery has been SUPER easy! 💙 just goes to show every pregnancy and birth is different!

Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
Having some pretty intense constant lower back pain and maybe super light contractions. But can't tell because the back pain is way over powering contractions so I'm walking around my room to see if they get worse.
Congrats! All 5 of my deliverys have been so different some were like night and day. Also I love this picture @kmally
