Labor Story

Well on Tuesday the 24th at 7:30am I had my first contraction, it was not bad so I just went back to sleep. One hour later another contraction hit and then another at 9:30am at this point I thought well I will at least get out of bed and shower. I didn't think I was going to go into labor that day, so I went over to my parents house to take some final pregnancy pictures. At my parents house the contractions started getting stronger and closer together. My mother and I decided to go to the hospital and at least register and get checked out. I call BJ at work just to inform him on what was going on. We got to the hospital and check in and they checked me to see how dilated I was and it turns out I was at a 5 and still going. BJ called to see how I was and we decided he should get off of work and get to the hospital. About 45 minutes later BJ and Julie came in and we got ready to have a baby. The nurse tried to get my IV in and four pricks later she decided to get the anaesthesiologist to do it. That ended taking about 45 minutes to do. After that the doctor came in and broke my water. I asked if I could get some drugs to take the edge off and he said it was too late, and that she would be here before they kicked in. And about 4 pushes later we had the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong it was not as easy as it sounds it was the worst pain ever, but totally worth it.
