Around 2 PM I started having some contractions. I didn't really believe it was go time yet. But around 3 I realized they weren't
stopping. So I downloaded an app and started monitoring them. They were still pretty inconsistent and weren't too bad. MH told me to go shower since I wanted to do that. They seemed to slow a bit but were still there. MH was getting everything ready to go and I continued to monitor. He reminded me that it would take 30 minutes for my SIL to get there and another 30 to the hospital. He didn't want to have a car baby! Lol. Around 4 he wanted to make dinner and I was like eh ok, so he made dinner. I then told him to call his sister and the OB. The contractions we still pretty irregular when we called but the pain level was intense so I knew. My OB was eh take your time but sure go in. So my SIL got there we chatted a bit and told her what to do with Clara and then we finally left at 5:30. At this point the
contractions were so painful. We arrived at 6
and the mother fucking labor and delivery bridge was already closed ( and broken)! This is twice we did this (with Clara too). So we had to go through the ER. They took one look at me and sent me to the labor and deliver room instead of triage. They started all their questions checked me (I was a 5) and with each contractions I was like so much pressure! Finally got my epidural around 7 (asked for it right away) but it was taking them fucking forever! It didn't go in right I don't think (a very not too sure of himself resident did it). The nurse started to explain but my OB came around 7:20 or so just to check in on me before heading home. This was when they also let MH back in the room and he could tell the Epi wasn't working well yet. So my OB checked me and was like well you are at 10. You are laboring hard that is why you're in so much pain and the epi isn't doing anything! So get ready! I was all omg no the epi isn't working fully yet! Lol. Pushed and he apparently was face up so she turned him (holy hell that hurt). Pushed a few more times and he was out! Ripped a little. But nothing terrible. He was born at 7:43 PM weighting 5 pounds 15 ounces and 19 3/4 inches long! He is a bit smaller than his sister but because he is tiny he has to get sugar tests and do a car seat challenge. I'll post some pictures in the PB!
