After spending the day playing is my water broken or has my bladder finally given up, I went to the hospital last night around 6:00. They checked me - my water was indeed broken and I was 4 cm! I wasn't having contractions though so we stayed in triage until midnight when a bed finally opened.
They started pitocin around 1 AM. I asked for an epidural around 4:30. Unfortunately, the doctor was backed up and didn't get to us until 5:30. While he was doing the epidural, I started feeling a ton of pressure. As soon as it was placed, they checked me and found I was complete and his head was low so they ran to get the room ready and find the doctor. Unfortunately the epidural wasn't working fully yet so it wasn't a very fun experience!
After 10 minutes of pushing, F was born at 5:54 AM. He is 6lb 2oz, 19 1/2 inches long and shockingly has dark hair! DH and I are exhausted but so, so excited to finally meet our rainbow!
