Well, my day on tuesday, the 5th started out normal...work and my weekly doc appointment. While at my appointment my doctor and I both decided she would see if she could get labor started (by stripping my membranes) since I was already dilated to almost a 4. Well, she did it and 2 hours later my labor started! Around 3pm I was ready to go to the hospital since my contractions were coming every 5 minutes for almost 2 hours straight. We got there and they got me set up on a monitor and at first had a little scare. Baby's heart rate drop for a bit because my uterus was contracting too fast for him. So, they gave me something to slow my labor down and it worked. Then they moved me into the birthing room where shortly after I got my epidural (doc's orders). That really did take the pain away...until my water was broken and I felt lots and lots of pressure (baby moving down) until I was able to start pushing. I pushed for an hour and 40 minutes and then...Braden was here! It was the most surreal feeling to see our Son. I don't know if I can put it into words how wonderful it was. I'm sure there's so much more to say, but I'll keep updating as time goes on!
