CyberShower Party Post for Junior

My labor/delivery story:
July 11, 2005 I woke with contractions at about 3 a.m. This was my first so I was unsure of what I was feeling, but I called the nurse to be sure. She had me time my contractions and told me to go back to bed and get some rest. Naturally, my husband woke when I was talking to the nurse and wanted to go to the hospital immediately, but I reasured him that it wasn't time. At 3 p.m. my husband decided I needed to go to the hospital, but after the nurse hooked me up my contractions were still to far apart to worry. The doctor checked me and they sent me home. Prior to my departure they said that if I experienced any bleeding to come back immediately. I made it to the elevator and I felt a huge gush of something so I rushed to the bathroom and instead of my water breaking I was gushing blood. So back I went and they checked me again. My contractions became very close together and my water broke. Not long afterwards I was asking for an epidural and another 14.5 hours later I had a beautiful baby girl.

Blindsided

I'd love to share some pictures with you, but I'm never in any that we take a the beach. Sorry, my hubby just doesn't take many pictures. However, if he does take any pictures I have to refine them with a photo editing device.

I hate swimsuit shopping.....I haven't bought a new suit in over four years. After having my daughter I only wear bikini's in my backyard. I have definitely moved on to "mom suits". I prefer tankini's to bikini's NOW after children and thirty. Not to mention I'm blindingly white. I think everyone looks better with a little color, but we don't have a pool or live near a beach and I can find other ways to invest my money than getting a fake bake.

In my early years all I wore was bikini's the skimpier the better. The last bikini I bought was one with the LITTLE triangles to cover your bust that tied around your neck and back. Not to mention even the bottoms tied on either side. My favorite color was purple back then, but I also had a metallic gold one that I wore when I went with my now husband to the lake with a group of friends. Stupid me I loaned it to my best friend and she ruined it in a hot tub.........hum lets just image that little number. My friend and I both scored big I landed my husband and she landed hers. Now as I said I am reduced to TANKINI's. Oh well it was fun while it lasted.
