Baby Birth Timeline

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who called with concerns for me and prayed on our behalf.....I was totally not feeling well on Wednesday night and need your supportive calls. I know I wouldn't have been able to get thur til Friday with out your loving prayers. Here is the basic rundown of what happened.

Wednesday: Was told by my N.P that I wasn't dilated and that baby wasn't going to come out anytime soon but that maybe next week we could talk about setting something up. Even though I was totaly in pain and not sleeping more then 45min at a time.

Thursday: Still having my sciatica pain plus other annoying pains...decided to clean entire house even though I would probably not be able to walk the next day or move.

Friday
5am-9am- contractions 20 min apart

9am got in car to take Belen to school....contractions instantly 4 min apart

10:30 am checked into kaiser w.c 6 cm dilated

12:30 broke water.....heard a lady in the next room screaming bloody murder ...decided an epidural sounded good....nurse talked me out of it because I was so clam.

1:15 pm I wanted an epidural right then....dilated 9 cm ...knew there was no way I would get one in time.

1:30 nurse came back to do some paper work for epidural( she was just trying to be nice and keep me calm)...I STARTED PUSHING RIGHT THEN... had baby Brock at 1:45PM

Brock's Stats 7lbs 12 oz / 20 1/4 inches/red Mohawk

When your ready for the baby to come out and the baby is not it can be so agonizing. My water broke while vacuuming, house work really is work! So glad you get to hold your little bundle of love in your arms now.

Awesome. I hate epidural mishaps! Mine wasn't successful with Dylan either and I didn't like that! We also tossed the idea when I was already 9 cm and luckily the pushing was a relief!
I can't wait to meet him!
