Had my baby today

I had an absolutely whirlwind of a day. After no labor signs, contractions or dilation to date. I woke up at four am, just like almost every other morning this pregnancy. Around 5:30, I felt something like a rubber band popping and when I stood up, there was watery discharge. There wasn't any more discharge after that, so I figured i just peed myself.

I had a doctor's appt at 8, and my doctor's office is the hospital. I was in denial that I was in labor, despite having consistent contractions four minutes apart, so I made lunches for H and me, sent H off to work and drove myself to the hospital.

It was my first time meeting this particular dr at the practice, so he was making small talk, while I was contracting. He checked me, said my water did break and that I was 4 cm dilated, so he sent me to be admitted.

It took about 2.5 hours for my epidural to be administered and I dilated to 9 cm in that time. The epidural was awesome and after an hour of resting, it was time to push. 45 minutes later, at 2:32 our boy was born, 6lb even and 19.5 inches long.

I was fully expecting to go past my due date, so it is so surreal to have a baby. I was terrified of LD and so thankful for such an easy and quick process. I feel like I really lucked out.

I don't know how to add mobile pics or I would. Just believe me. He's cute!
