So I would post my labor story but i'm mad because I did it once and my computer shut off before I could hit post. =] But to make things short...
My water broke around 4, I went from closed to ten in about 2 hours, I got the epidural at about 5:20 not knowing how dilated I was. (The pain was so bad everything was a blur and it was really important to me that I remembered everything) after I got my catheter my nurse checked me and I was ready to push which shocked her because if she would have checked me when I asked for the epi, I wouldn't have gotten it. We got all the family up to the hospital in record time lol. I started pushing at about 6 and Ehren Riley arrived at 6:57 on 7-9-08. We had a small scare because he wasn't breathing but his heartbeat was very strong so at one minute his apgar was only a 4 but it went up to an 8 at 5 minutes. My doctor said that it's called Divers Syndrome (maybe you've heard of it?) But he's just fine and is of course perfect as are all babies =]
