Hola Chicas!
I’m coming to you bedside from the Labor and Delivery ward!!! Finally, right?!
I started having awful, timeable and frequent contractions last night around 11pm (after crying for 2 hours because I feared I’d be pregnant forever) and was unable to fall asleep. So what did I do? I got up, slowly made my way to the shower and did my hair! The warm water helped ease the contractions and going through the motions of twisting my hair was very therapeutic. After laboring for a while at the house, we arrived at the hospital around 6am this morning. Unfortunately, I was only 3 centimeters dilated (80% effaced), but since my contractions were so fast and furious they kept me. And here I sit.
Currently, between (the absolutely dreadful) contractions I’m watching Coming to America and keeping y’all posted 😉 I’ve been a G thus far… you divas would be so proud! I will need one of y’all to sneak me a sausage biscuit though… I’m starving!
Later Gators,
Nik
You did all that and you still look so pretty!!! Twisting my hair would've been the last thing on my mind…I guess that's why I never let anyone near me with a camera that last time…
Congratulations again!
Many blessing Nikki! You're a trooper.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Can't wait to see the cute curlie to come. (if she is not here already)
Congrats!!!!!!!!!! wishing you and your baby health and lots of sleep!!!!! Take pics as often as you can, they grow up too fast.
This is my first post and I wanted to congratulate you with the new baby girl! Can't wait to see the pics of her!!
Congrats Nikki!! I hope you got your sausage biscuit.
YAYYY!!! Totally excited! And, I agree, doing your hair can be very therapeutic…those moments spent looking in the mirror styling can contribute to introspective minutes or hours of thinking and self-reflection. Congratulations and many more blessings!
Many blessings Ms. Nikki…May your new chapter in life bring you much Joy, much laughter and Much love to you and yours, always..
Ty

Never posted here before, but i read your blog everyday and i love love it. I've been checking everyday for the past 2 weeks to see if you've gone into labor yet. Finally the time has come!!! All the best. I'll be thinking and praying for you!
*lol
awwww congrats mommy nikki! i'd been checking in religiously to see if you had her yet, but today (well technically yesterday lol) i was soo busy…i cant wait to see the little curly girlie :)…& yeah ur def a G for blogging & being in labor simultaneously lo

Best wishes through it all. Breathe…and when you are tired of breathing, breathe some more!! Can't wait for the baby arrival post next!!!
Oh boy…I mean girl 🙂 I've been checking in from time to time wondering if "She's Here" would pop up in the subject line but I wasn't expecting to see you sitting in a hospital bed blogging. Talk about dedication!! Well, I hope the rest of labor and delivery process goes smoothly. BTW, I love that your contractions started in the shower while doing your hair. Seems fitting 🙂 Hang in there. We got your back!
Congrats! Wishing a safe delivery your way 🙂
So excited for you!!!! God bless you and your family!!!
I've been thinking about you this week every single day, wondering when your daughter is coming…
Best of luck with your delivery! We're cheering on you!
OMG Nikki!!!! I'm so excited for you. I'm just logging in, so now I'm wondering if your little princess has arrived. You are truly maintaining by still posting while in labor. You're a double trouper for doing a twist out while in labor. I pray that you have/ had a blessed delivery. Take it easy, enjoy your new addition, and get as much rest as possible while in the hospital and the nurses are there to offer extra assistance. Congrats to you and your hubby!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Nikki! I'm so happy for you! I'm sure you will meet face to face with your beautiful lil curly bundle of joy late 2night or early in the a.m.! I went about TWO weeks over due with my son so I know how you must feel!I been checking on here daily to see when you were dropping that load & I'm glad to see its finally happening. You were so adorable preggers, you just glowed!Congrats to you & your hubby! I'm sure you guys will be great parents! Hope to see you in St.Louis soon the next time you're here!
OMG! I logged in this morning just to see if you were in labor and you hadn't post, and low and behold it's 10:29pm (CST) and you've posted! Nik you are a trooper…I'm a whimp when it comes to pain, so Ms. Demerol and I became great friends when I had to have surgery a few years ago! Sending up prayers for a safe & fast delivery for Mom and Baby, strength for Daddy, and a speedy recovery!
OMG, congratulations! Safe & blessed delivery to you & baby…

Sending you, your hubby and the littlest curly diva good thoughts and prayers for a wonderful delivery!
Yippee! Congratulations!! Baby girl finally on her way :0) Hilarious that you found the time to do your hair…and blog too! Loves it.

Praise the Lord! Lol, I checked the site last night, before I went to bed, to see if there'd been any progress since that last time I checked (which was just a few hours prior–lol). There was nothing at the time and I thought to myself, "Poor, Curly Nikki. I bet she's beginning to think she'll be pregnant forever!"
But I'm so happy to hear that you're finally in labor! When your baby's older, she'll laugh at the fact that you blogged from your hospital bed! lol, a true G*
Praying for you!
Hang in there Nikki!! It'll all be soooo worth it. God Bless!!! My prayers are with you and Lil Curly Diva!

Once she's in your arms you will NEVER want to let your little diva go 😉 Stay strong, breathe, and don't feel like you are a failure if you have to ask for pain meds 🙂 And make believe the popsicles/ice chips are a nice buttery biscuit,lol! That kept me going, but man was I starving! Miracles-n-blessings to you and yours!
