LO is a week old, I figure I should hurry up and post before I forget!
There was a long annoying induction scheduling/rescheduling saga from my 40w appt. My induction was ultimately rescheduled to Monday 6/29.
Sunday 6/28, I woke up at 5am with a contraction. And then 10min later another. And then another. So I started timing them, but didn't think much of it. DH woke up at 8 and I told him I'd been havjng them, but they were far apart and not terribly uncomfortable (but they were over a minute).
I showered and ate breakfast. Told MIL halfway through my breakfast and for the rest of my yogurt, she stared at me, saying nothing. (awkward!)
then around 10, DH got really insistent that I call L&D, and I'm all, I'm not 5/1/1 yet, let's take a walk. So we did.
I called L&D at 11, we got there shortly before noon. At 12:30, they decided to admit me bc I was 3cm.
We got up to to my room sometime after 1pm. Contractions had all but stopped. Boo. The nurses did all of their checks/IV/paperwork, and at 2:15 the OB came in. She broke my water (contained meconium) and started pitocin. I was 4cm/90% effaced at that point.
OB left, nurse left and DH went to grab some food from the cafeteria at 2:30. at 2:35, i'd had some wicked contractions and asked for an epidural. Anesthesia resident arrives by 2:45, and I can not sit up to let him put it in I'm in so much pain, oh yeah, and I feel like I have to poop. He pages the nurse, who checks me again and finds I'm at 9+cm. Everyone is shocked, nurse pages OB and peds (bc meconium), DH finally walks back in during the melee (maybe 2:55pm?)
Epidural finally gets in, I have 2-3contractions that I can feel are slightly dulled from pre-epi. And the next thing I know I'm pushing. 4 contrax later DS2 is born, growling like a gremlin.
. yep. 55 min of total painful labor. 
He was 7lb12oz and 21.25in long.
TLDR: admitted at 12:30p, pitocin started and water broken at 2:15p (at 4cm) baby born at 3:10pm at 41w exactly.
