The birth story:
Sunday 1 am contractions started and became regular but never painful until 4:30 am. I woke up Rich and said lets go but he was confused by why I could talk during the contractions and suggested that we call. Of course the CNM said I better stay home until the contractions were unbearable. So all day Sunday I had regular contractions that were painful but not unbearable until around 5:30pm. We left to the hospital and got settled in our room around 6:30 and I was 90% effaced and dilated to a 5. I got my epidural and hour later and couldn't have been happier with the results. 4 hours later I was rechecked and was 90% effaced and dilated to a 6. They broke my water then and in one hour I progressed to 100% effaced and dialted to a 9. Within a couple of hours I started pushing and pushed for an hour. TA-DA. It was that easy. We can't wait to go home and couldn't be more pleased with our little girl.
