So here I am packed and ready to go to the hospital (the night before). You can tell this is our 4th kid, cause I just drove myself, checked in, and had my water broken before Tom got there around 11am.
Now we just waited to dialate... and waited... and waited... I got to 3 cm and pretty much stopped even though I was on the highest amount of pitocin. I got an epidural around 1pm. So around 3pm, my nurse took me off pitocin altogether for a half hour to see if we couldn't jump start things. Once I was back on, I went from a 3 to a 10 in a half hour. Even though I had my epidural, I was feeling every contraction and felt like I needed to push.
Luckily, the anesthesiologist got me a boost of medicine so I could wait until the Dr arrived. And two good pushes later- here he is! 8 lbs 2 ounces and 20 inches long. Perfectly healthy and cute.

Glad it all went well, even though you had to wait it out a bit!! I love that you drove yourself and checked yourself in! You're a veteran now! And you seriously painted the laundry room right before? ha ha. Someday you need to come teach me how to paint my house. I'm too scared. But I think I would like it. :) I love his little scrunched up face and you look great!!!!!!
