Some background: We moved into our home on June 27th and we felt very blessed to have found somewhere that met all of our necessary qualifications. We negotiated a lower rent rate if the landlords would let us take down the existing UGLY wallpaper and paint instead. I figured that we had a month or so before our baby would be here and that painting would give us something to do...Trevor wasn't too happy with this plan, but he goes along with my insanity. We finished painting the hallway and stairwell at 12:30 am July 22, 2012 and I went to sleep exhausted!
So I woke up sunday morning and told Trevor jokingly that I thought my water broke and as the day progressed I was more and more sure that it had actually broken but I wasn't having any contractions and so I decided to go to church anyway because I didn't want to be sitting at home bored all day :) we went to church, got home, Trevor gave me a blessing, and then I took a nap and when I woke up for dinner contractions started (about 6 pm). I ate dinner and then we started trying to make plans for Aleigha and get ready to go to the hospital.
We checked into the hospital and the lady told me later that she didn't believe that I was in labor. She put me in a bed and we finally got ahold of some friends for Aleigha to stay with. I was dilated so she let me stay and Shophie came much faster than her big sister. She was born at 11:06 pm after only a couple of pushes. I much preferred being in the hospital for only 3 hours as opposed to the 14 hours that I was there before Aleigha came.
