** I'll post more later...we're at the hospital now & our laptop takes forever to upload;) **

Well, after 19+ LONG hours of labor here is the result....the most precious gift in the world!!! And I survived...WE survived!!

My contractions started at 2:40pm on Tuesday and were pretty quick to pick up to once every 4-6 minutes, so I gave Eric a call around 4:00 and we were at the hospital by 5:15ish. After sticking me on a monitor for a couple hours they decided to admit me.....thank goodness because I told them I was not leaving without a baby:) hehe. By 11:00pm they started me on pitocin to move things along a little quicker because my contractions had slowed down a little bit. Let me tell ya, pitocin=evil ;) That stuff causes some mighty severe contractions!! So, needless to say I was in much need of the epidural by 2am. Those things are AMAZING.....at first:) I was so thankful that I could rest a little bit....and rest was all I could do, there was no sleeping through the night for any of us really. By 5am they broke my water and I was 6 cm dilated. And the epidural began to wear off :( 7:30am I was 8 cm so I figured I wouldn't actually deliver until closer to noon...nope! 8:30 rolled around & I was nearly 9 cm, with a WHOLE LOTTA pain from the contractions!!! Soon enough it was 9:00 & time to push!!! The rest is history....! We are sooooo blessed to have such a sweet little bundle of love!!!! Cutest darn baby we've ever laid eyes on... hehe
