First we'll share the story...then tons of pictures!
On Thursday evening Steven and I were getting ready to watch some TV (looking forward to our weekly "Office" date!) As we were talking my water broke! While I dealt with that Steven called the doctor and she said to head to the hospital! So we changed clothes, packed last minute items in the bag, cleaned up around the house, and headed to the hospital!
We got checked in around 9pm. I still hadn't felt any contractions, but the monitors showed they were present. We were told that we'd wait it out and see if contractions increased on their own and if not, they'd speed up the process for me with some Pitocin. It was turning into a rather long night! So at 1:15 a.m., in went the I.V. of Pitocin and at 2:15 a.m. on came the major contractions! I dealt with them for about an hour and then got an epidural....ahhh! At 4:30 a.m. I had dialated to 5cm and by 5:00 a.m. I was at 10cm and ready to go! So the pushing started at 5:35 a.m. and Madelyn was born at 6:22 a.m.! (Yes, she's a Halloween baby...just like her Uncle Drew!)
