Baby ???

I name this blog post "Baby ???" because we don't know what baby girl's name is going to be. However, more importantly, baby girl is here and healthy. We had quite the night last night. Right now, I really don't want to go through that again, EVER. I hear you forget about the pain after awhile. I hope so. Here's our timeline
2:00am Woke up to use the bathroom. Went back to bed
2:30ish Woke up feeling contractions. I'd been having contractions off and on for a couple of weeks but this was a little different.
2:45 Started thinking that the contractions seemed pretty close together. Timed them <5 minutes apart. Went downstairs to research labor. Learned that what I was feeling seemed like the real thing.
2:50 Woke up Thayne and told him that the baby might be coming. We talked about what to do. I still wasn't convinced that this was labor. I was in some pain by this time but I could still talk through the contractions. Thayne quickly decided that we would go to the hospital. Started packing my hospital bag. I really hadn't worried about this before because I figured I would have a couple of hours once labor started. Called the Doctor. She said to come in but she was on her way to a different hospital to perform a surgery. We decided I would go to the hospital she was at. Called our friends to take Tyson. Poor thing. He was sooo sad last time I saw him.
3:20 Got in the car, dropped off Tyson, took off toward the hospital. By this time the contractions were probably a minute apart and were getting VERY painful. I could feel the baby move down and I was trying not to push but it was sooo hard not to.
3:40 Arrived at hospital ER. Contractions were almost constant. We didn't know where labor and delivery were located and I really wasn't in any shape to walk. I collapsed on the sidewalk in pain when I tried to walk in. We made it to Labor and Delivery but the doctor wasn't there yet.
3:49 Baby girl arrived and life got a lot better for me. I'll take the epidural next time. So we had our baby girl in a different hospital than planned with a different doctor but atleast it wasn't in the car.
Little girl weighed in at 6 pounds 14 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches and has dark hair (but not a lot). I think her hair will lighten up. We'll upload some pictures when we get a chance (and the camera cord). I'm exhausted but can't sleep. I think the adrenaline is still pumping. Thayne is back at school today. He had a big day with patients today and needed to be there. These kids don't always come when it's convenient, do they?
