Starting at 1030a the labor process began. Family and friends had start to arrive for the big occasion. Everything was going wonderful and fast. It took 4 people to put an IV in me. I have such small veins and they were so swollen. Then the doctor broke my water. Can we say OLD FAITHFUL! I got my epidural fairly quickly. Since I was so dilated it didnt take me long to get to 4cm. There was no pain to that process. I quickly started to get numb from the waist down. It was around 330 that I became 10cm. It was time to start pushing. I had no idea pushing could take so long. I am talking a little over 2hrs. If I would have gone to 2 1/2 hrds they would have done a c section. There was no way I was wanting that. Her heart rate was dropping when I would push so I knew that was a factor in getting her out quickly. But, everything worked out and she entered this world at 5:29pm. The minute my life changed. I will leave the rest of the gorry childbirth details out. When she arrived she sounded like a little kitten.
Brian was completely involved from the time she got to see her head. I had never seen a man so involved with their child.
