On January 20, 2011 my sweet little girl entered the world! We arrived at East Alabama Medical Center at 7 am for induction. I was already dilated to 2 cm and about 80 % effaced, so I had a head start. I was settled into a room, etc. and started on pitocin at 8 am. I started feeling the effects after about 30 minutes. I was handling the pain pretty good until about 10:30. I went ahead and ordered an epidural and about 45 minutes later the anesthesiologist arrived. Right before he came in I thought my water broke, so the nurse tested the fluid. It had broken on it's own, but it wasn't alot so I wasn't sure. Well as soon as I was getting situated for my epidural it really started gushing...maybe this is too much info for a blog, but I was super excited. I was so glad it broke on it's own. After that and the epidural things really started going quickly! After my epidural started taking affect the nurse checked me and I was already dilated to a 7!!! About 20 minutes later she checked me again and I was at a 10!! I was so shocked and amazed! Dr. Smith came in, and I literally pushed like 6 times. My sweet baby was born at 12:22 pm. My delivery was quick, easy, and just beautiful! I couldn't believe how gorgeous and perfect my daughter was, is :) She weighed in at 7 lbs, 7 oz and measured 20 inches long. I am unbelieveably blessed!
