Twins?

Bridget Ann Gooch is here!!!

Wednesday night Quinn and I welcomed our new little addition Bridget Ann at 9:08 pm! She is healthy and absolutely beautiful at 7 lbs 1 oz and 19 inches. We barely made it to the hospital in time to have Bridget delivered. I was not due for another week and was very convinced that I wouldn't going into labor for at least a week. Quinn had some intuition or something b/c he was sure that I was going into labor all day Wednesday. He actually left work early and just came home to see how I was doing - I wasn't having any contractions yet or anything so I was really confused as to why he FELT the baby was coming that day. Well, around 5:30 that night I started having some contractions. For those that don't know, I had had contractions since I was 28 weeks so I didn't think anything of these contractions. Quinn and I went for a little walk to see if they would stop...they didn't. I took a bath...they kept going. The contractions were about one to three minutes apart and lasting about 45-55 seconds. Finally after we ate dinner Quinn convinced me to let our friends take Triston for the night and we were heading to the hospital. I was still convinced this was a false alarm and was sure we would get sent home. But between contractions I grab our bags and packed a bag for Triston. Our good friend Nate picked up Triston at about 8:20pm. We raced to the hospital where they sent us straight to labor and delivery. Once in our room the nurse checked me and I was at a six. The nurse hooked me up to an IV and I was planning on not getting an epidural but I did want some sort of pain medication. Once she got the IV in I asked her to get some pain meds for my IV, so she left to get them. I had one really strong contraction while she was gone and I yelled to Quinn, "SHE IS COMING OUT!" Poor Quinn had to run and find the nurse. She came and checked me and said, "OH MY GOSH she is crowing!!" I said, "So can I still get the pain meds?" Nope! It was too late. Thankfully my doctor was next door delivering another baby. He raced in, didn't even have time to put on a mask, and I asked him for some local anesthesia and he said, "This baby is coming out we don't have time." 3 pushes and she was here! It was a great experience and I am AMAZED at how well the recovery has been. We are soooo thrilled to have our sweet baby girl home!!
