Our daughter Anna is a big sister now, because her mommy gave birth to her...

My water broke Sunday morning around 9.30am. I already was up for about an hour, I couldn't sleep anymore because I had really bad back pains. Anna was still sleeping, so Kurt went to the neighboors and explained what was going on. Thank god they were already awake, and Angelica (our neighbor) went to our house. I knew she would call our parents and that Kurt's parents would pick Anna up on their way, because their house is the nearest from our home.
We arrived at the hospital about ten to fifteen minutes later after we drove away. I still only had contractions every 50-60 minutes , but when they checked my cervix I was 3cm dialated.
Minutes went by and my contractions got closer to each other (thank God!), and when they checked again around 12.00, I was already 8cm dialated! From that moment everything went so quick; my contractions got to every 10 minutes and before I knew it, I was ready to push. It was hard, because our baby didn't want to come out, but decided to come after all. And at 1.21pm our baby girl was finally born!
I'm not very good in stories, but I tried my best to let you all know how my labor went. Although we were a little upset that we had again a girl, we do love her very very much!! I think our boy will come next time
I don't have any pictures yet, but it will come MAYBE. I try to put them ASAP on the computer somehow. But it can take a few days/weeks. I try to post it ASAP, but don't expect it too soon.
