a little late to the party, but my laptop is used more for abcmouse these days now that i am home with her! 
here are the greatest hits: saturday night around 2am i started having painful contractions and started timing them as i tried to sleep. they were pretty consistently 8-12mins apart and then started to spread out around 4am. when i woke up at 530 and started walking around, they got closer together, and fast. i woke dh up to tell him i thought today might be the day around 6. by 630am, i insisted he get out of bed that today was definitely the day. called the ob, my parents came over for the littles and we were on our way. by the time i was checked at the hospital (745) contractions were 2 mins apart and i was 5cm dilated. got the epi about 2 hours later because the anesthesiologist was busy with another case...which was ok with me because i was still handling them pretty well but oh sweet relief to not have to endure another internal without one. they are way worse than the contractions for me. 8cm, ob broke my water, and then we were on our way. had a little time to try to relax with the epi and see if the contractions would balance out while i finished dilating, which they did. pushed through three or four sets of contractions and she was out! i got to grab her and pull her out myself (no, really, doc, i'll do ALL the work! hahaha)
