here's my story!

Went to my doc appt on 9/9/14 @2:30 my doc told me he wanted to see if my fluid level was ok or not. Turns out not, so he sends me down to l&d and the get a iv started and all that fun stuff! They get me in my room by 4pm and my family and friends are on there way! They start my potosen at about 5:15 and by 6 I wanted my epidural so I got it by 6:30 and they broke my water which they said it was a very thick bag  (I'm happy I couldn't feel anything cause I'm sure it would have hurt without the epidural) then they did my catheter all this action was over by 8 and I was resting up in the bed with everyone making me laugh and entertaining me when at about 10:45 my contractions were crazy I could feel them like my epidural wasn't working so I called my nurse in and the epidural guy came and gave me a extra dose of meds and then at about 11:20 my nurse checked me and I was 10cm and 100% so she paged my doc ......she wanted to do a practice push so I did and she yelled "ok let's not do thay just stay still don't move" so I did and no my doc ran in and everyone tried to hurry cause I wasn't pushing and she was just coming out!  With a half of a push at 11:48 on 9/9/14 I delivered bailey lynn she was 9.8lbs 20.5in and had full of hair and she is so far (knock on wood) a quiet good baby! She's been amazing and my 3yr old is so protective of her and cried when I sent her to the nursery so I could try to sleep before they send us home tomorrow!  Did i forget to mention she's the spitting image of my first daughter even my social said it's like going back in time! Lol which now I have my husband's clones! Lol I don't mind there beautiful and he's really cute so I'm ok with thay!
