How could I forget?

TyAzaunti · September 2015

I've been so busy (LO's here, two different family visits, a funeral, traveling out of town with a newborn) I didn't even get the chance to announce the birth of baby Mason.

He was born Aug 24th @ 7:43 pm.

I went in to be induced on the 23rd I was 41 weeks & hadn't dilated at all with just some bad Braxron hicks. As soon as I got there I started having contractions (the irony right)? Well they gave me cervadil to help me dilate and within 30 minutes I was having contractions 2-3 minutes apart but since my body had started working on it's own I refused the pitocin that was coming next & decided to do it natural. After being in labor with those contractions for 11 hours I finally decided to get an epidural. At 1:00pm I was only a fingertip still I asked them to wait before sending me for a c-section since my water had broken 6 hours prior. By 5:00 I was 9cm, without any medication. We waited 2 more hours for him to drop further in the birth canal. I started pushing at 7:37 by baby was here by 7:43.
