My Three Kings: One of the best days of my life....

I had a regular scheduled doctor's appointment on June 14th at 11:00am. I was meeting a new doctor because my doctor took off to Venice. Really?? I am not more important. So it takes forever and Bill and I's patience is being tested when he walks in and puts us at ease. He was so nice and got right down to business. He said well let me check you.... OKAY?? Well you are 3 centimeters. Would you like to deliver your baby tomorrow?? (Bill said my face went white) So I said sure no problem. The doctor got on the phone right away and said well the hospital says they want you to come tonight at 8:30pm. ohhhhhhhh!!!!! So Bill and I rushed home and began to prepare. We put the base in the car and I began tying loose ends at work so that I could relax.

We got to the hospital and they hooked me up by 9:15pm and started a small dose of pitocin. They gave me an Ambien and that is all I remember til 4:00am when the nurse came in and began upping my pitocin. Early that morning my mom came up and sat with me for awhile. So what is every pregnant girl that is about to give birth suppose to do...... DUH?!? Put on make up!

Sitting happy as a lark with no pain at all. So glad that big ole' belly is gone. At 6:45am, the nurse checked and I was still 3. I was thinking to myself this could be a long one. Then at 8:00am I began feeling the pain. At about 8:15am the nurse walked in and saw me in pain and asked if I wanted my epidural.... Why of course!!!! At 9:00am the doc came in and put in my epidural and the nurses got me all situated. By 9:15am I was resting easy with absolutely no pain at all.

At 11:15am I was 5.... Whooo Hoooo we have progress!!! By 1:45pm I was 8 and 100% effaced! At 5:45, the nurse decided that I needed to try and push and see what happens. I had five contractions of three pushes each and at 6:15pm on 6/15/11, my beautiful baby boy came into this world.
