Ally's arrival 04.15.14

A day before (04.14.14) one of my friends gave birth to her son and I came to visit her.  I told her my plan was to have an induction on 4/18 because I could not wait any longer.  Ally must have heard me and my evil plan so she decided to come out on her own.  I lost my mucus plug at 7:00 am on 4/15 (Tuesday) and I was so nervous because I was hoping she would come at the end of that day at least or even better the next day.  I went to work thinking she would not come this early and go on with my day.  At work, I had contractions; it started with mild pain and increase as time goes by.  Around 1 pm after lunch contractions come every 15 minutes and it was very painful.  I decided to go home in case I could not drive any more.  After laying down on my bed it got better but only for a little bit.  Every time the contraction hits I could not speak so I think that I should come to the hospital to check out.  I took a fast shower and drove myself to the hospital (this was at 3:45 pm).  The nurse there checked me in and checked my dilation and said "you're at 6-7 cm".  I was like "are you serious?" because I was thinking they were going to send me home.  I hurried and text my husband "Ally is coming".  He was at work and had 2 more clients waiting for him.  He told me he had to send them home because of "emergency".

Fast forward to all the boring stuff and my Ally arrived at 6:41 pm.  She weighed 6 lbs and 18.5 in height. She is tiny and did not have a lot of hair like her brother Dylan.  Here are some of the pictures of her birth.
