Ariel & Family: Big Catch up!!!

I really need to catch up on my blogging!!

I think ill just start fresh and begin with the story of my second daughters birth!
BEWARE It's very Detailed :) Welllllll Here it goes!!!

On Friday the 2nd of September i went in for my FINAL ultrasound (had to keep getting ultrasounds because Baby was in the 8th percentile) to check baby's growth, the lady that was checking baby didn't say much! Which left me very worried!! So she sent me up to the birth suite, where they checked baby's heart rate, a midwife then came in and told me there going to "arrange" something to be done (as in being induced), They were telling me they rather baby out for me to fatten her up, she was a bit on the small side. Which i was sweet with i rather her out now and get it over and done with, she then came back in and told me I'm booked in on the 4th (fathers day) to be induced!....They then let me go! As soon as i got out of those hospital doors i burst into tears! ONLY because Shannon was working in the mines and i didnt think i would be induced that soon!!! When i got to speak to him at 7pm (WA are 2 hrs behind and there not aloud there phones on site) i told him the shocking news! And being the wonderful Man he is, he flew out asap and i picked him up Sunday morning :) I was sooooo relieved and Happy but then very nervous at the same time because that was the day of my inducement!I was booked in for 6pm but they didn't put the Gel in me until 7 (i think they were busy) i layed there for an hr for the gel to settle in, then they sent me away to my room and Shannon then had to go home :( Over night nothing happened so at 7 in the morning Shannon then returned and they had put more gel in me. It was lunch and i was having contractions in my room, the midwife counted how long and how far apart they were, she then asked me a long was your first labor? I replied "3 hrs" She was shocked and then said I'm moving you to the birth suit NOW! lol i found it quite funny, so in a wheel chair i went. Took me to a birth suite, did a internal check and i was 6cm dilated, they then asked if i wanted my waters broken, i said "YES JUST DO IT" (i wanted to get it over and done with!!!!) This is when the hard labor started with an Hour of very painful intense contractions and 17 minutes of pushing (while on all fours) My baby girl was out in this big world! Can't get over how fast my labor was 1 hour and a half! I Amaze myself! They passed her through my legs for me to hold , i looked at her and just thought how perfect and tiny she was!! We had an hr bonding then they weighed and checked all her bits and pieces while i got stitched back up.. We named her Miakoda Delilah Smith she weighed 6 Pounds exactly she was 46.5cm Long and a head Circumference of 31cm....She was soo soo perfect! It really does make you think "GOD IS REAL!" :) I was also Breastfeeding for the first 4 weeks until i got mastitis in both boobs and it stopped my milk from coming in! I was doing so good at it too! But I haven't given up hope i will continue to try with My future Babies i may have :) Here's a few of Birth pictures :)
