4.20.10 8:46 a.m. 6 lbs. 9 oz. 20.5 in.
I woke up with contractions around 2:30 a.m. and woke Mike up around 4:30 to let him know, "it was time." We got to the hospital around 5:30 and I was 4 cm dilated. (BOO!) I got in the tub and at 7:30 when they checked me again I was 9 cm. I had an epidural at this time and started pushing just after 8:30 a.m. Here are some pictures Mike took, documenting labor & delivery.
Breathing through a contraction.
Just after the epidural with a vomit bag (bc I stuffed my face while the nurse was out of the room!)
First bath
