Addison Rose Seghi was brought into this world on a memorial "Memorial Day" May 31, 2010. She weighed 7lbs 6oz and was 19.5 inches long and was healthy from the moment she appeared, with an instant pink glean to her skin and cries. Scoring 9's and 10 on her Apgar score. Adam and I were overcome with emotion after a long, but amazing labor day.
My water broke at 10:45pm on May 30th, after just getting into bed about 10:15. Adam hadn't gone to sleep yet...and I awoke with a pretty strong contraction that alerted me that I may be in labor.
We called our parents before leaving for the hospital...and my Dad and brother were so excited about the baby that they came right away...arriving at 4am to the hospital. If they only knew she wouldn't be born for another 13hrs!!
All the nurses at Delnor were amazing in assisting us during the labor process to make it a wonderful experience. Adam was a perfect labor coach too, and he helped to keep me relaxed and focused during the whole experience. I was able to labor without medication to 7cm before getting an epidural to "relax" at about 3:30pm and then I dilated to 10cm by 5pm...and she arrived at 5:32!!
Our immediate families were all in the waiting area...and it felt like we were being stormed by the paparazzi when they all came in to see us and meet little miss Addy!
