She was born October 25th 2008 was 7lbs 6oz and 20in long. She has a massive amount of hair and it is so pretty. All the nurses were commenting on her pretty highlights...lol
I was so sure that I was going to have to be induced but low and behold I actually went into labor on my own just like I wanted to do. I did however get an epidural which I didn't want. My contractions started out btwn 1 & 3 min apart and were extremely hard to get through. When we went in 6hrs later, I was only dilated to a 1 and was 80% efaced. I was sorely disappointed. We decided to stay in the hospital and wait it out. The nurses told me that I shouldn't be having such painful contractions until I was dilated to about a 7. So at 6:30am (12hrs of contractions & finally dilated to a 4) I decided I needed to get the epidural so I could have some energy left to push. At 11:30am we decided it was time to start pushing and at 2:03pm she decided to grace us with her presence!
So here are a few pics:
