Shaun and I arrived at the hospital at 4am to be induced at 5am. We checked in and the nurse took us upstairs around 4:45. I changed and they started and IV. 15 minutes later the nurse started a Pitocin drip. Shaun left at 7 to go home and pick up the dogs and take them to the boarding place. About 10 minutes after he left contractions started. at 7:30 Dr. Gibbs arrived and checked me, I was only 1cm so he decided to break my water. At 8 my midwife showed up and checked me, she said that I was 2cm. They increased my Pitocin. My mom came around 8:30 and Shaun came back shortly after her. They contraction started coming alot closer and alot stronger. I tried walking the halls, taking a bath and rolling on the birthing ball. Nothing helped, so at 12pm and only 3cm, 7 hours after labor started I asked for an epidural. Getting the epidural was not as bad as I expected, but the doctor kept "tickling" my nerve. That was not fun. After that was over my mom left and Shaun and I took a nap. At 5:30 my midwife came back and checked me. She said I was 6cm and that I would probally have him sometime that night and she would be back after she finished the c-section she was doing. Somewhere around 6:20 the pressure became unberable and I asked for some more medicine. The anestielogist gave me a sitting epidural. That made me happy for all of 20 minutes. At 7pm the nurse checked me and said I was at 9cm and that they would call the doctors, but the doctors were still in the c-section so I would have to wait. Well at 7:20 I couldnt wait anymore and asked to be checked again, the nurse said I was complete and that I could start pushing. Right as I started pushing the doctors walked in. 3 contractions worth of pushing and Aiden Gray made his grand entrance into the world. He was born at 7:32pm weighing 6lbs1oz and he was 19.5 in long. His first breath took ours away.
