So I was scheduled for an induction today, so of course I went into labor on my own late Tuesday night around 10 or 11pm. Well actually, I didn't even know that I was in labor at first, I thought it was just gas or something, but then the pain statred getting really intense and I knew it was the real thing. We went to the hospital around 3:30 AM and they hooked me up to machines to monitor babys heartbeat and my contractions. Around 6:30AM the nurse gave me some nubane and some type of morphine. It made me feel good for a little while but then I was just really sleepy and still in pain. At around 9am one of the nurses asked me if I wanted the epi. i was gonna try and wait as long as I could, but then decided to just go ahead and request it and around 930am I was askin what was taking so long..lol. When they gave it to me I was having really painful contractions and it was hard to stay still but once it kicked in I was in heaven! At about 11 AM they told me it was time to push and Juliana Rylee was born at 11:18AM on August 20th, 2008. She weighed 6 pounds and 15 ounces 19 3/4 inches long. We just got back home from the hospital today and I am COMPLETELY exhausted but I will post pics very soon.. I love her so much she is perfect!!!!!
