He's here!

posted 11th Jan
At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon I started having irregular contractions, no mare than 10 minutes apart but forming no pattern. At 11:00 I started having uncomfortable contractions averaging 6 minutes apart (still, no real pattern). Managed to fall asleep at 2. Woke up at 3 am with intense contractions. Finally made it to the hospital at 7, discouraged to hear I was still a 2. I walked for an hour, and the position of my cervix changed. Walked another hour and at 9 I was a 4. Got my epidural at 11:45 and then went to a 6-7. My water broke and by 12 I was completely dilated and effaced. Baby was posterior but turned during delievery. Dylan Benjamin James was born at 12:54 pm and was 7 pounds, 5 ounces and 20 inches long. I pushed for 9 minutes.
Pictures! (I'm mobile, sorry)

He was good, but slow. I was ready to push around noon. It took him another 45 minutes to get ready.

Was he in appointments? I mean I can kinda see how it could take him a bit to wrap up and get there so they don't have to just tell everyone in rooms already they have to go.

I don't know. Probably. But even when he got here, he took his time. Which is fine, except I really felt like the baby was just going to fall out of me.

Booo for baby falling out! He is pretty methodical though so I guess that is a downfall of him. Overall did you like the experience though?
