Brittany is here. PIC is fixed

Tuesday when I went to the doctor they told me I was 3-4 cm and probably wouldn't make it past 2-3 days. Thursday morning when I woke up I could feel contractions in my lower back. But.... they weren't regular so I went to work anyways. I also had some bleeding. Around noon the contractions started to get more regular, coming about every 10 minutes apart. I called my hubby who works an hour and a half from the house around 2:30 and told him he might wanna think about heading home. When I got off work at 4, my contractions were about 6-7 minutes apart, so I took a shower and about an hour later when the contractions were 4-5 minutes apart we went to the hospital. We got there around 6 nd they hooked me up to the little machine that times the contractions. Around 7 they decided I was definitely in labor and that I was 5-6cm. I asked them when I could get my epidural (im such a wimp) and they told me the guy was about an hour away but he was coming. When he finally got there, there were 3 girls ahead of me to get the epidural. (One who had been there since 8am!) By 10pm I was 9 1/2cm and FINALLY got my epidural. Around 11 or so they decided I was ready to start pushing. After having an episiotomy, Brittany Kadence was born at 11:49pm, weighing 7lbs 8 oz and was 21.25 inches long.

congrats!!!!

aw congrats !!

Congradulations! WTH is up with the epidural guy? An hour away and a lady had been waiting since 8am! Oh heck no!! lol. I'm glad my hospital has round the clock guys available!! LMAO! Congrats though and I just wanted to say you're amazing for working the day while your in labor!  

Congrats Momma!!

Congrats Mama!!! I bet shes adorable!   And.. I definitely couldnt imagine waiting for my epi since 8 am and it being almost 12 hours later!!! Wow.. she must have been one ANGRY girl in labor! Good thing you didn't end up going in before you did! But anyways.. I cant wait to see the pictures of your little girl  

Thanks everyone! I felt so bad for everyone who had been waiting. I guess they weren't far enough along to have their epidural at the time. I know out of all the girls who were waiting to deliver all day, I was the first one to actually have mine. And Thank God the poor girl who had been there since 8am finally had her baby around midnight. The other 2 girls didn't deliver till later in the morning on friday.

She is so cute!!!  

Awww..She's adorable!  

what a little cutie !

Thank you!  

IS your name Melody??? I'm assuming from the name on the pic... one of my best friends is named Brittany and her mom is Melody! Just thought that was odd!

Anyways, congrats momma!! Shes a cutie!!

lol yeah it is. That is really weird!

Congrats! Kudos to you for going to work that day. I guess I probably would have done the same thing and went to work. But, my water ended up breaking before work so I headed to the hospital instead. She's beautiful!
