Jeremy and I went into the hospital at 2am and I was given a pill (Cytotek) around 3am to induce labor. I started having contractions, but I was slowly dialating. My doctor came in around 10:45am and broke my water. The contractions became so much worse and lucky me the Anesthesiologist was in a C-section :) I had to wait for almost 2 hours for him. Then the first epidural fell out about an hour and a half after and I had to get another one! Honestly though, he did such a good job sticking me I barely noticed him doing it. I even had to ask Jeremy if he was done. I expected it to hurt more. My first experience had been a nightmare and this time really wasn't that bad. I still continued to dialate slowly and so they gave me Pitocin around 4pm and I was a 6 plus. When the nurse checked me again around 5:30pm I was a 9. Once they got everything ready my doctor (I just want to add here that I love my doctor, I think he is awesome) showed up and I pushed for about 15 minutes. I am so happy that I got an epidural :) The contractions I was having after my was broke were crazy intense.
So :) she was born at 5:54pm June 8th, weighing 8.8 pounds and was 20 inches long. I am so happy that we decided to have her induced. My doctor said he was glad we made that decision also. He said she probably would have stayed in there another week and then I could have been having almost a 10 pound baby!
She is so sweet and I can't stop looking at her!
Thank you everyone for all your love and support!
