Hello baby Angelina Michelle Forbush. Okay Here's the scoop.
My water broke around 8am. I called Sean. I called Ami. I called the doctor.
Dressed the kids. Drove to Ami's. Drove to the doctor.
Yes my water did brake. DUH! 2nd daughter, 2nd time water breaking.
The doctor examined me. You baby is breached. HUH? Her foot is down, head up. Looks like a c-section.
My reaction, "okay, well three's a charm. Let's go."
The nurse wheeled me over to the hospital side (Centennial) and Sean drove the car around.
I was prepped and off to the surgery. Sean was such a sport he stayed by my side and comforted me.
10:23 am Angelina graced us with her presence. She is a little Angel. She weighed in at 6 lbs 12 oz. 18 1/2" long.
While Sean went with Angelina to be cleaned up, the doctors went to work putting me back together. They wheeled me down to recovery where I was able to bond with my new little bundle of joy. The nurses, doctors, anesthesiologist, and staff were great.
I spent Thursday-Sunday at the hospital recovering.
Emilee and Forrest were so excited to see their new baby sister on Thursday.
My father-in-law flew in Friday to help out. I am so grateful for family. I sure needed the extra help. On Sunday we checked out of Centennial. It is kinda funny. The same nurse that checked me out with Forrest also checked Angelina and I out this time too.
We drove passed church as everyone was getting ready to go home (2pm) from our ward. It was kinda weird driving passed church on Sunday without attending it.
When we arrived at home Emilee, Forrest and my Dad were there to great us with enthusiasm.
So far we are taking it day by day. I feel great and I am recovering quickly. Angelina is doing great. We had to go in for a check up for Jaundice but lil' Angelina is doing better and we are good until our next check up. I thank the Lord for the blessing of all of our children. I never knew I could love someone so much. I guess it is just a hint of how much Heavenly Father loves us. We are truly blessed.
Thanks to all those gourmet cooks for the delicious dinners. My family is so grateful for your support. My husband is so funny. "If the food is this good we might have to plan on the next baby soon." I told him to give me a few months. We will have to acquire the yummy recipes.
Thanks to everyone that has offered to help. We appreciate your willingness to serve.

Countdown to baby girl
Well today I survived. I have 4 1/2 weeks to go. I am hoping for atleast another week.
I take it day by day. I went to the store with Emilee today and that was enough to put me to bed early tonight. I'm exhausted. I hope I can sleep good tonight. This morning I woke at 2am again with more false labor pains. Eventually I went back to sleep. Sean thankfully let me sleep in. And I even had a nap today! WhooHooo!!! On top of trying not to go in to labor I have some kind of head cold going on. Thank goodness for tylenol cold, kleenex, and halls.
I'm just taking it one day at a time.
I am so excited to have my baby girl come soon. I just hope she waits a little bit longer. I just want her to be healthy. I can't wait until family comes. I will enjoy and appreciate the extra help!

hospital trip
So I thought I was going into labor this morning. I couldn't tell how far apart the contractions were. So I put in a load of laundry, took a shower, double checked my hospital bag, and called my doctor. Yes laundry. I couldn't sleep so why not.
My doctor said go to the hospital. ( I'm 35 weeks, 5 to go).
The nurse hooked me up to a monitoring device. Yes I was having contractions. I find out that I am also a little dehydrated. So I had to down two jugs of water take a sleeping pill and I got to come home. False alarm.
Wow. So now I am wondering when I am going to go into labor again. I still feel some of the contractions but lil' Angelina Michelle isn't ready yet. That's okay with me. I just hope I can sleep tonight.
Thanks to everyone that helped out today!
Kudos to Ami for coming to my rescue!
