My water broke Saturday night at like 11:55 pm. I wasn't yet asleep so I felt it start so luckly I jumped out of bed before the first gush could come (sorry if this is to detailed), I turned on the light and said Ryan I think my water just broke, his response, "Are you serious?" ha ha he was so tired he kept asking, " Are you sure you didn't just pee?". So we weren't really packed cause I was just expecting to be started on Monday so we through some things in a bag and Ryan loaded it all to the car. And off to the hospital, I started to get little contractions on the way to the hospital but nothing serious. We got to triage and I was a 2 and 80% still, we got to our room and went for a walk hoping gravity would help her out. The contractions started to get stronger and stronger, but I wanted to experience the pain of labor. Ryan was so tired, he kept falling asleep as he was trying to help me breath through the pain, she was face up so I was having weird contraction that were one right after the other lasting like a min and half to two min. So at like 9:30 I had had enough and got the epidural. LOVE EPIDURALS. We were both able to take a little rest and I progressed very nicely, 4 and 90%, 5 and 100% and then at like 12:30pm I started feeling pressure so they checked me and I was a 9, so they paged the Dr. He was at church until 1:30 so they started to get everything ready I started to practice push at 1:40 and she came at 2:41 pm! I didn't have to have Pitocin or anything, the whole experience was so wonderful! Ryan was so helpful through it all and cut the cord, I really am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband. We didn't have a name for her til the next day and it was none of the ones we had picked out for her. But she's here and we love love love her! Finley is such a joy in our lives and we are so blessed to have her.
