Anyway, I called in at 6:00 a.m. yesterday and they told me to call back at 8:00. At 8:00 they told me to come in at 9:00. I got started on the Pit about 10:00 and was slowly progressing. It was the lightest epidural I've had, but at least I had one. At 1:00 they broke my water, and at 1:20 I was feeling A LOT of pressure and they rushing the Dr. because I was ready to go. This is the most I've felt and I have to say I REALLY admire those who go without one! It hurt.
The Dr. was kind of talking to the nurses saying I was close to being "abrupt" meaning something about the placenta tearing away and could cause the baby to swallow blood and we could both die. Luckily I didn't know what that meant until later and we are both fine. Thank goodness for miracles and modern medicine.
It does make me glad that I was induced but I was being so slow going into labor on my own because if my water broke it could have been scary geting there on time.
She is really quiet so far, but when she gets mad it is instant and bright red furious! I guess that is a girl for you. She is so perfect and we are so in love with her. She has been a stinky nurser so far but hopefully that will change.
Me before the pain:
Right after the ordeal.
Bright eyes and a good amount of hair.
Happy big brothers.
T didn't really want to see her or touch her.
Daddy's little princess:
My last is my smallest by 1lb 6 oz!
And the anticipated contest winners: Stacey at getting May 29th at 11:00 a.m. (only 2 1/2 hours off!)
A close to 2nd to Debbie and Kristen who also said the 29th!

And somehow my husband guessed the exact weight at 7lb 3 oz! Wow! Should he really count and get a prize? Joy was the 2nd place at 7lb 1 oz!
Good job everyone.
