Ava's birth Story

I have to write this story with as much detail as possible so my daughter knows how chill her daddy was on her birthday. So Thursday March 24th, I contracted all day long. The timing of the contractions varied so I just hang out & had pretty much a normal day. Friday March 25th, I started contracting more and more during the early morning hours. Finally at around 7:00 am they were 10 minutes apart. My husband decided to go to school (that's right Ava Daddy just left) and said call me if you need me haaaaa. An hour later they were 5 minutes apart so I called the doc and they told me to go in. I called my husband at school and he said oh well hunny it's probably nothing. I don't have a car you tell me what you want me to do, I can probably borrow Casey's car. He was super chill AS USUAL!!!! I called my friend & she went and picked my husband up. By the time he got home they were hurting a lot....He goes um I need to shower...yep he had been in the lab so he wanted to be clean....he took his beautiful time & finally we headed to the hospital...We get there, My contractions start slowing down and he goes...they'll probably just send you home hunny & he turns the tv on and watches the price is right as I'm in Pain hahaha. They checked me and I was a 2 he goes this is going to take FOREVER!!! hahaha. Blessed be the resident that was there that day. She came in and told me we are having a baby today. You are in active labour and I'm not sending you home with the risk of uterine rupture and I don't want you labouring at home. They started a small dose of pitocin and broke my water. 3 hours later I told the nurse I felt a lot of pressure and I wanted to push. They checked me and I was a 10....The doc came in and said let's do this, we are going to start pushing...DALLIN WENT FROM SUPER RELAXED, CHILL, THIS IS PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TODAY TO....Heck yeah, jumping up and down...Hunny we are having a baby..What do you need me to do? Do I change in scrubs? what do you need? yahoo he was TOTALLY NUTS!!! All the girls in that room were totally laughing cause he was stoked!! AND so after 15 minutes of pushing my baby AVA arrived!!! very little 5lbs 90z, 18 inches long,healthy, and holy smokes can she cry!!!! It was a great experience...I'm so grateful for her. We absolutely adore her & her daddy is crazy about her.
