Baby Charlotte

I have wanted to start a blog since the day I found out I was pregnant. Well here I am 9 months later after she has made her way... At least I am finally starting it.


So Charlotte Isabel Magaletti made her way into our lives after almost 24 hours of labor and deliviery with 3 and a half hours of pushing. She was born on October 18th, 2010 at 1:12pm. Weighing in at 7 pounds and 8 ounces and 19 3/4 inches long.


On Sunday October 17th Mike and I went for a walk around 2:30 because I was so bored. Not even 10 minutes into our walk I thought my water might have broke but wasn't too sure so we kept on walking and about 20 minutes into I was pretty sure it had so we made our way home and called the hospital. they told us to come in. Mike and I ran around getting the last minute things together to take with us. Me straighting my hair and Mike shaving. Its the little things:)



We got checked into the hospital at 4:10pm and it was confirmed that my water did break. they moved me to a labor and delivery room and since I wasn't feeling any contractions they put me on pitocin which worked quite well I would ahve to say to where i went to 3cm pretty fast and that when i ask for the epidural. in an hour and a half i went up to 4cm and then i was finally able to get some rest. about 5 hours later I had jumped all the way to 9cm, they were pretty shocked I went up so fast. So I woke up Mike which he didn't believe me since they said I should go up a cm every hour and a half.


Finally around 9:30am on the 18th of oct I started to push. since she was face up it took longer then they thought to have her. After 3 1/2 hours of pushing she finally entered our lifes. It was tough but such a joy when she was placed onto my chest.
