We arrived at the hospital at 9pm for our induction...And my nerves where quite high! It was very surreal just to show up and say, "Ok, here to have our baby!" Our delivery nurse, who was amazing, quickly got me all set up and started to induce with Pitocin at 10pm. My Dr broke my water at 11pm and then the contractions really kicked into high gear.  I asked for the epidural at 11:45pm and it kicked in just after 12:00am. The contractions felt like tightening and pressure, just like everything I have been feeling for weeks. They checked my progress at 1am and was only dilated at 4cm. At 2am, the nurse checked my progress and - we were at 9cm!!! I couldn't believe it, we were just a few steps away!

The Nurse got us set to start pushing at 2:45am. I always imagined that DH would just be there holding my hand, but he instead had a very active role. There were even times when she was bringing supplies and it was just him and I pushing. Pushing was pretty intense and I relied on my competitive nature to get me through. Yes, in my mind I would say to myself, "Alright, GAME FACE. Let's do this!"  I even had the Salt-n-Peppa song run through my head - Push It. Either way it got me through. 3:00am, the Dr. came in and the final pushing began.

And so...3:16am - Tyson Keith came out in the world!! DH cut the umbilical cord and Tyson was immediately handed to me. I was overwhelmed with emotion and cried my eyes out. He was here. And absolutely every pain, discomfort, and day on bed rest was so worth it. He is perfect!! I looked at DH and knew that everything was just as we wanted. I looked over at my Mom and saw how proud and happy she was. And I looked down at this amazing miracle and knew this was the happiest day of our lives. It was truly amazing.

Some of the pics aren't the most flattering, but very emotional.
