You sound like you have it all under control, Angie. Congratulations on your new baby girl!
And good luck with the sleepover party, I can understand why you'd still attempt to hold it.

Hannah’s Birth Story written to Hannah
Hannah Nicole Szunyogh made a few attempts at entering this world. The first attempt was at 35 weeks, 3 days in utero. Mom was having contractions every 7 minutes, called Dr Stokes and went to his office for a visit. Dad met her there nearly beating her. He was working at Grandma Penny’s house in Berea. Once the doctor monitored the contractions, he sent us to the hospital to stop them. After multiple attempts (hydration, Nubian and some other drug), the contractions stopped. 5 days later the contractions started again. Mom and Dad went back into the hospital only for the contractions to cease on their own.
The following day, Tuesday Nov. 4th, Mom had her 36-week check up with Dr Stokes. He said she was 3 cm dilated and 50% effaced. That Saturday Nov. 8th the contractions started again and became harder. Once again, off to the hospital Mom and Dad went.
The interesting amazing part is that Aunt Andrea was here from Florida due to a death in the family. Mom was to attend her Aunt Judy’s (Grandpa Owen’s sister) funeral but decided to stay home since contractions started again.
Andrea, Mom and Dad waited in the hospital for 4 hours while Mom’s contractions were observed. At that time Mom was admitted to the hospital since she was 4 cm dilated and 75% effaced. Dr Stokes didn’t want to release Mom because baby Hannah’s heart rate would drop to a scary level during large contractions. Mom labored all evening and into the wee hours of the morning until nurse Valerie began inducing labor (per doc’s instructions) at 1:30am. Mom slept on and off through the night and was only 5 cm dilated by morning. Ugh, all those contractions felt like they were in vain. Mom was offered Nubain or Demerol overnight to subside the pain, but she didn’t want to take it. By 10am the following morning, Mom decided to get the epidural. The contractions were intense and hadn’t dilated Mom any further than 5 cm.
Anesthesiologist Deb along with nurse Valerie (who was nurse of the month at EMH) came into the room and gave Mom the epidural just before stripping her membranes. Once Mom lost her water, the contractions came hard and fast. By noon, Mom had dilated to 8 cm. By 1:30, her body was ready to push. The only thing is that Dr Stokes had not yet arrived. So the pitocin was turned down and Mom worked not to push until doc made it to the hospital. Finally, Dr Stokes arrived at 2:20. Aunt Andrea and Dad were holding Mom’s legs while she pushed. Grandma Penny was in the room as well. Aunt Andrea and Grandma Penny felt quite blessed to witness your birth. Mom pushed for 20 minutes and Hannah came crying into the world. Dad was smiling ear to ear.
Dad cut the umbilical cord, and Dr Stokes put you on my stomach. The miracle of your birth caused Mom to cry tears of joy.
The nurses took you to run some tests, clean you and measure/weigh you. Hannah Nicole weighed 7 lbs. 12 oz and was 20.5 inches long. You rated 8/10 on the apgar test, which looks at muscle tone, reflex response, color, respiration, and heart rate. November 9th was a glorious day in the Szunyogh household.

Baby Watch -- November 2008 - 
Proud Army Sister 
I woke up my husband at 4:30am to run and get some ready made formula while I sanitized bottles. After taking only 1/2 oz. she was out for a few hours. Phew! I am nursing her but have to give her a little bit of formula afterwards to fill her little belly. Hopefully, my milk comes in soon.
