So, Friday I worked until 5:30. We went home to find coupons for a restaurant to take everyone out to eat. I felt a small trickle and thought I was peeing myself around 6:30. When it kept coming a bit at a time, I called the MW and packed my bag. I wasn't feeling contractions, but they wanted me to come in and get some pit to make me contract as my water was definitely broken at this point. (I had soaked through 2 overnight pads and my clothes.) DH and I dropped the kids off at his grandma's, went to Best Buy to get a point 'n' shoot (The nikon coolpix does NOT come recommended by me) and went to D'angelo's to get a sandwich as I knew they wouldn't feed me until the baby came. Made it to the hospital by 9. My hospital is strictly a L&D hospital and it was a busy night. I was in Triage until 3am. The pit took forever to work and even though I was contracting the whole time, I didn't feel them until around 8 am. I watched 2 Best of SNL's, Pineapple Express and a bunch of crap while waiting. Got an epidural that didn't work so well. Sure I couldn't feel my feet, but I felt every contraction and the birth. MW came in around 9:30 and she was out within 5 minutes of pushing! They saw how nervous DH was and said, "I assume you don't want to cut the cord", which he didn't and offered the job to me as I was holding her. It was awesome!
We have to narrow our Name List down; there are about 20 possibilities.
She was born the day before her EDD, on 12/27
9:52 am
22" (my longest)
7lb 11oz (my lightest)
Eating a mix of expressed breast milk (having latch issues) and formula.
Congrats! Sorry the epi didn't work for you, but glad it was a quick pushing session! Too bad you didn't get good pics, especially with a brand new camera! Ugh! Good luck on finding the right name for your LO
Congratulations!!! Let us know how the naming goes!!! I feel for you on the whole "epidural not working" thing >.< Glad everything seems to have gone smoothly though
