I didn't post anything about my new edition on here, so I figured what the hell

I was due May 11th (mother's day) and was induced May 12th.

Was 3 cm and 80% effaced when I arrived at 1030am

Pitocin was given at a low dose at 1130am

Water was broke at 100pm- 4 cm

200pm got the epidural....I was in lots of pain and figured what the hell, but was 6cm dialated. After it was in and doing its thing by 245pm, it started to wear off by 330pm...........I kept pushing the pain button and told my nurse it's not working and that I felt like I had to shit, so she checked me......10cm and ready to go. I jumped from 6 to 10 cm in 45 minutes!

345pm I got ready to push.....mind you, I was crying when she said it was game time because I could feel so much pain

400pm and 2 ...........yes 2 pushes later, Audrey Raine was born at 9lbs 2oz. 20 inches! Best labor in the world!

Heres a recent pic of her. She's almost 12 pounds and 22 1/2 inches long at 6 weeks already! Sleeps through the night and is getting more bright eyed everyday! Big brother is doing great with her
