I just sent Justin out to breakfast with my parents so I figured I would write up a quick birth story!!!
I came in Tuesday at 4 to get the cytoteck thingy and my doc came in around 430 to give it to me! I couldn't believe how stinkin small it was... all together about half the size of a birth control pill! She put it in and said now we wait... so I gave it an hour and when nothing was happening at all I was just about to give up!!! At 6:30 I started cramping.... not intolerable.. but they were getting kind of worse... but when I was checked no stinkin changes to my cervix!!! They sent me home at like 830 on the condition that I come back in to get checked at 1030... so we went home and I did some birthing ball bouncing and we got our new camera in the mail!!! (Just in time!! yay) So I played with that a little and we watched pretty woman and then my parents showed up at like 10! At 1030 we were back in the hospital. I was contracting pretty bad at this point but still trying to manage with breathing! At 12ish the nurse called the dr. and Sabrina (thats my doctor) said that I could stay or go it was up to me.... but I wanted something for the pain!!! So the nurse had to call her back (because god forbid she just ask before....) and then she came in and gave me a shot and I was like woah what was that?!?! And shes like morphine.... so I was like WOW... thats a serious drug there ya know!! We decided to stay because I was worried I would have a bad reaction to the morphine...It was kind of weird because it really made me loopy but the contractions were still bad.... So I'd want to sleep in between contractions.... but it was hard. and the contractions were constantly like 2 minutes apart from the very beginning!!!! Justin was sleeping at this point lol and my parents went to their hotel at like midnight and then around 1 or 2.... (and believe me time was kinda fuzzy at this point) I asked the nurse to check me because the contractions were getting worse... So she did and she was so stinkin rough she broke my waters
which felt so weird because I really felt like I peed all over myself!!! After that things got BAD.... the contractions were almost unbearable and Justin was runbbing my legs and moving them back and forth which really helps!!! I was like EPIDURAL RIGHT NOW!!!!! So she called the anestitist... and she got there like 20 minutes later! They ived me and took my bloods... and all the flobatomists were amazing!!! So around 3 I got the epi which didn't hurt at all!!! It wasn't instant relief but my legs did instantly go numb!!! Then my butt... and about 3 or 4 contractions later the epi kicked in... and I had a button so I could get MORE if I needed it... and that was total relief either.... It took the edge off though!! And when the ladies went to check me I couldn't feel it at all!!!! Which is weird! We started calling my parents to get them back to the hospital at this point because I was almost 100% effaced and about 4 cms. Justin went back to sleep for a little bit... kind of an interrupted sleep!!! The doctor got there almost immediately after my epi and decided she'd rather sleep at the hospital just in case I started going really quick!!! I think I slept a little here... but not much... and we couldn't get ahold of my parents which really bothered me!!! So The doc came in around 530 and checked me and at this point I was maxed out on the button but she told me to go ahead and press it again if I had to (Which I DID!!!) And she checked me and was like well... your about ready to push!!! So everything was gotten ready! And then my parents showed up at 5:55!!! YAY! So dad went to the waiting room and mom took a leg and Justin took a leg and doc said to push... so when I felt contractions I pushed... but I couoldn't feel anything lower then the contractions!! YAY! So I pushed and pushed and pushed and the all of a sudden she was here!!!!! And I didn't feel the burning or stretching which was so amazing! And she is so beautiful!!! 6:12am (so like 15 minutes of pushing!!!)she made her appearance! at 7lbs 12 ozs and 19 inches long!!

I feel so much better now!!! I'm cramping which sucks but ibprofin seems to be helping that!!! I didn't tear at all so no stitches and I feel so skinny!!!! Shes a latcher so shes been feeding every 2-4 hours since she was born! We're just really happy! Justin is too. Its crazy being a parent to this beautiful baby!
