Warning to Men: the rest of post is labor/delivery story
Kinda been in labor all week, but finally decided to go in Wed night. Of course after they admit me, things slow down, so the Dr decides to let me do my thing and will give me Pitocin in the morning. M.G. snoozed, while my sister walked the halls with me to try and get the contractions going closer together. At 4:30am I am only dilated to a 5, but finally get the pitocin. 1 cm all night!!! I was ticked. 5am got my epidural (didn't want to miss my window). So, by the time the pit started doing its things, I was numb to it all. I hardly felt any pain with this whole labor process. It was a weird experience b/c my other 3 labors were almost identical and I didn't ask for an epidural until I was very uncomfortable. 8:30 am, still a 5-6, the Dr breaks my water. By 9:10am, I am ready to go. one push and a contraction finished the rest. 30 hours later we are both home and healthy.
Due to the H1N1 flu this year, no visitos under 18 were allowed, so the family was anxious for us to come home. The other flowers are so in love with Monkey. More pics to come...
