After trick or treating for hours with Ian, I thought for sure I would go into labor on Halloween. I was having pains and everything hurt. After eating a late dinner and sitting for a bit, I felt fine. Nothing happened the next day or the next. Tuesday I had a Dr. appt and she said she would start me if I wanted. I wanted to go on my own, but being past my due date and nothing was happening, I agreed. So, we set it up for Thursday the 5th. I had to be at the hospital at 7:30 in the morning.
About 9:30 my doctor broke my water and the pit was started at 9:00. About 11:30 I got my epidural, which was wonderful. We made slow progress and the finally I went from a 6 to a 10 and complete in about an hour. We waited another hour for her head to come down a little more. Finally around 5 we were ready to push and my Dr. got there just in time. 15 mins later we had a beautiful baby girl. I got to have her with me the whole time. It was wonderful. I got to see her first bath and everyting. All was well and healthy!
