My induction birth story (&PIPs)

Went in for the induction at 4:30 am Thursday morning.  They started the pitocin at 5:15, and I labored until they broke my water at 7:20 with no change since what I was when I came in, 2 cm and 70% effaced.  The contractions really started to pick up at this point and I asked for pain meds at 8:15, but the baby was still high and I had not dilated anymore so they wanted to wait on the epi, so I recieved Stadol (sp?) and Phengren and I immediately felt some relief, but not for long. 

 After sleeping for an hour or so I woke up to some intense pain.  The nurse called and the doctor let me get my epi, boy was that AWESOME!  I fell asleep for a bit and DH went to grab a cup of coffee and I awoke to 5-6 nurses around me putting oxygen on me and having me turn over, because babies heart rate was seriously low.  They put an internal monitor in and they still couldn't get a good read.  I am actually glad I was a little out of it because i didn't realize how worried everyone was.  They were prepping for a c-section at his point, and then his heart rate picked back up.  They said it was because I went from 2cm to 5cm and 100% effaced in a very short period and he just didn't handle it well.  I am pretty sure they turned the pitocin down at this point, but as I said I was a little out of it and DH was getting coffee. poor guy felt so bad when he got back...

Pretty much smooth sailing from there, by noon I was 9 cm!  and 20 minutes later I was complete.  I started pushing at 12:40 and at 2:10 baby Thatcher James arrived, with nuchal cord, but perfect.  Hearing "its a boy" an amazing moment!  He was put on my chest immediatley and didn't leave our room until late last night for his first bath. 

And finally some pictures of our sweet little man...
