Well for those of you who don't know Cadence was born on may 5th at 11:58 pm. Here is how it happened.... I was having mild contractions all day at work. When I got home I took a warm shower to try and stop them but it didn't really seem to help. They were about 5-8 minutes apart. I called scott and told him to come home as soon as he is done mowing lawns, but I didn't want to get him all excited for no reason so I didn't tell him that I was having contractions. It took him a little longer then I would have liked to get home but when he did my contractions were stronger so I told him to shower and shave and we ate dinner and then headed to the hospital. When I got to the hospital they hooked me up to the machine to moniter my contractions, at first the nurse said it dosn't look like they are really increasing so they will probably send me home. She then wanted to see how dialated I was and when she checked she said I had not progressed and was still 1 1/2 cm since that is what I was at my last Dr. appointment she said she would moniter the contractions for about 15 more minutes. About 5 minutes after she left the room I started to feel like I peed in the bed so I had Scott check.( He was so sweet he told me yeah it kinda looks like it but it is ok it happens to everyone). Then it started to feel even wetter, and wetter. I had Scott check again and then he said ummm "I think your water broke it is really wet." So we called the nurse and sure enough my water broke. They quickly took me to the delivery room and on the way in Scott asked if they would be able to tell if the baby is still breach, the nurse said she was glad we asked because they probably wouldn't have checked. After they completed the ultrasound it was confirmed Cadence was still breach. This is when the contractions started getting extremely painfully and I wanted DRUGS!!! But the nurse let me know that becuse I was going to have a c section they couldn't give me anything yet. The nurse called my doctor and even though he wasn't on call he said he would come in to do the c section. 2 hours later I was taken to the opperating room. At 11:58 Cadence Mae was born, they brought her over to me for a second to see and the she was so beautiful and had so much hair! She weighted 5lbs 5 ounces.
