Congrats to all the new babies they are all so adorable!! Oh my!
I didn't get a chance to update before but my baby girl Arianna Jane was born on the 4th at 12:18pm, 7.5lbs, 19 3/4in and perfectly perfect
Here is a bit of birth story for you ladies
Went in monday the 3rd for my 40 week check and asked if I could have a sweep and doc said no and proceeded to check me and scheduled my induction for 7:30 the next morning. I went home feeling fine around 4pm I noticed an uptick in BH. I noticed they were getting further across my belly and moving into my back so I started timing them around 7pm, they were getting worse very slowly but they were consistently 10 to 15 mins apart but since my induction was already scheduled and the pain was manageable I tried to get some sleep. Woke up around 6:30 in the am and was excited because I was still having contractions meaning I had actually gone into labor on my own!

I was hoping to not have to get the drip but at 7:30 we went into the hospital for my induction and they checked my cervix and was still only a 3!

But they said I was having regular contractions and that meant that they would only have to give me the lowest dose possible of the drip and it worked! I was having 3-4 min contractions but my cervix wasn't budging

Doc came in at 9ish and broke my water I saw the bloody show and started in the super painful contractions almost immediately, then i asked for the epi and they told me the anesthesiologist was busy which is a laboring woman's worst nightmare when you are hoping for an epi

after laboring with my DH as my labor coach and holding his hand through the contractions for almost an hour they checked me again and I was a four, then they told me that the anesthesiologist would be in soon thank goodness too! He came in and gave me the epi and after about 20 mins I started having the urge to push they came and checked me and I was at 8 and they were begging me not to push but it felt so awful I was crying trying to hold back the pushing 5 mins later I had DH call the nurse back in because I came to the point where I couldn't hold it back any more and they checked my again and I was ready!!

I couldn't believe it had happened that fast! DH says I pushed for about 45 mins I remember getting just the top of her head out and screaming that I couldn't do it any more it felt so terrible but a few more pushes and she was out! It was the most awesome feeling ever DH was crying and trying not to let me see because he is a big tough man lol they put her on my chest and the first thing I noticed was that she looks just like her sister except she has hair!!

They told me I have two first degree tears but my scar from my previous episiotomy held up which is awesome a few stiches but nothing like getting cut again. All in all I got my baby and we are both healthy I couldn't have asked for more
