Here is a very shortened version of the birth story...
I was supposed to be induced on Wednesday night (Feb. 9th). On Tuesday morning I got up and experienced the "nesting" people talk about. I was super productive the whole day. I didn't sit down to rest until about 6 that night. Then around 8 I started having contractions. Because I had had so many, we didn't get excited. But after two hours we decided to go to the hospital. They checked me and I was still only dilated to a 1. Since I was in a lot of pain and I was going to be induced the next day, they said I could stay. Then on the way to my room, my water broke.
I think I got the epidural when I was dilated to a 3. I have no pain tolerance. It took like 15 hours for me to go from a 1 to a 5 and then two hours to a 10. I had to push for about 40 minutes and then there she was, our adorable little baby girl!
We had a few visitors shortly after she was born.
We blessed her when she was only 4 days old because that is when everyone was going to be in town.
