Special Delivery...

After 23 LONG hours of NATURAL labor (3 hours of pushing!!!!), I was able to deliver my baby girl in a successsful VBAC. Savana Dahn made her debue on Sunday October 25th, 3 days after her due date. Her delivery was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life, but I had the most gratifying reward in the end. The pain was worth every second after finally seeing my baby girl for the first time! I had the most wonderful doula and the best support team from Louis and my mom! I could not have done it without them or my OB, who I think is the best doctor in the world! Thank you to all!!!

Here are some pix from the hospital...

Cruising in between contractions...gotta love that birthing ball!

Once she held her, it was neverending...

And the first of many many kisses begin!

Going home after 1 day in the hospital...yeah!

I think those cute big cheeks were the reason for my 3 hours of pushing!

She's Finally Here!

The Waiting Game...

So I have to say that I never thought I would reach my due date, but I have! Today was the official day and still I sit here like a balloon that needs to be popped. My OB and I thought for sure that I would go early, but now I know that my baby will come when she is ready. Louis thinks that she is already a "stubborn Isom" and that we are in big trouble!

But it has been a really nice week with my family here and not having to go into work. Along with relaxing, I have been walking 2-3 miles everyday to get this labor going. I am having a lot of contractions throughout the day, but nothing consistant. Today we all decided to spend one last family day at the beach! It was a lot of fun!

Sprinkle

The girls from Church insisted on giving me a little Sprinkle this morning! It was too nice of them. We got together at Panera for breakfast and they spoiled me with tons of gifts! This Savana girl is seriously spoiled already! I also had my 39 week check up today and the doc thinks she will come in the next week for sure! I am counting on it! My official due date is the 22nd, so she better get here by then. I am more than ready...I got my spa pedicaure and manicure and my hair did yesterday! It's show time!

Baby Shower

Louis told me the other day that he was going to take me out on probably our last date before our baby comes this Saturday night. So when we got to the restaurant last night it was actually a surprise baby shower my friends had planned for me! It was so nice of them considering I am having a another girl! They are so sweet! I was really shocked and just so happy for all the wonderful things they did for me!
