It's a girl

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We made it past Christmas and New Years with no baby, we are so thankful she hung in there a little while longer.

I have to say we made it all the way to 38 weeks and 5 days. We had a scheduled c-section, but she decided to have her own birthday. We finally have our baby girl. After 9 months she is finally here.

My water broke at 1:30 am on January 6, 2011 and we had everything ready we called a friend for Sydney and we headed to Dubai and yes we made to the American Hospital in Dubai. I even got to feel contractions they were strong, but not as strong as most peoples when they have a regular birth at times it was difficult in the car, but I remembered to breathe..........

The doctor was really nice and we did call him in, but he already had some deliveries that morning so that was good that he didn't really have to make a special trip. He said it is a few days early then we planned, but he was getting the team together. We had a scheduled c-section for January 9, but I wondered if we would make it.

I have to say the surgery went well and I am healing well. They even had music in the OR kind of neat. We got to listen to Brian Adams during the delivery. It all happened really fast and I was still worried about whether or not my water broke, but there was no question.

We spent 3 days in the hospital and I have to say for hospital food it was good. Heather spent one night in the nursery, but after that she was with us in our room. Really different since Sydney was in the NICU.
