Had our baby PIP!!!

emilie01 · November 2009

Long story short...Eloise Helen made her way into the world at 4:03 am today. My water broke at 5:30 last night and we were at hospital at 7. Walked until 9 to try to dilate. That didn't work, so started pit at 9. Wanted to go au naturale, but ended up begging for epi around 2:30. Pit was slow to work at first took me five hours to get to four, then all of a sudden only thirty minutes to get to nine from four.

So they started setting everything up around me and by the time that was done it was time to push. Started pushing at 3:40 and Eloise was born at 4:03 at 6lbs 8oz, 21 inches. She is perfect in everyway, I am in such awe of her. I have stared at her all day and couldn't imagine my life without her right now. I did have a first degree tear that took a couple stitches, but besides that she latched right on to my breast and all three of us are doing great.
