September 21st 2013!!!

Starting back at the begining of the week....

sep 16th- My doctor said I was very far along (dilated 4, 90% effaced)  and she would be surprised if I didnt go into labor this week. If I didnt go on my own I was scheduled to be induced on the 23rd.
The rest of the week was spent going on a lot of walks and getting some last minute baby things.

sep 20th- Avy and I went to costco and just played at home. When Chris got home from work we went to the park and out for ice cream. I wanted to do everything Avy loved to do that weekend because I knew we would have a new baby on Monday.

SEP 21st!!!
- 12:30am-I couldn't sleep.  My stomach was starting to hurt but I wasn't counting time between contractions. I just thought it was something I ate.
-1:30am- I got out of bed and started cleaning to take my mind off the pain. I started looking at the clock between contractions and they were about every 5 minutes. I didn't want to freakout and get too excited... I was not going to go to the hospital and be sent home...
-2:15am- I woke up Chris and told him I might be in labor! By now the pain was so bad I couldn't really talk or move during contractions. I called Diana to come be with Avy. We were just going to go to the hospital and make sure everything was okay...
-2:45am- The drive to the hospital was horrible. I was having BAD contractions every 2 minutes.
-3:00am- At the hospital. Horrible contractions! The next 45 minutes was spent answering hospital questions, getting IVs, and trying to hold still during the awful epidural! The epidural only worked on my left side- mostley just my left leg, not even my stomach. So that was a waste of time!! I was pretty mad. When he was all done with the epidural I laid down and the doctor broke my water. I may have been screaming things like, "this hurts SO BAD" and "get him OUT!"  :)
Then 2 quick pushes later...
-3:55am- He was HERE!!! Our beautiful, healthy, perfect little boy :)
