Labor story sorry very long

Went in on Wednesday to get induced at 7 pm I was dilated to a 3 and was 70% effaced so they started me on pitocin at 8:30 by 2am my contractions were uncomfortable but not unbearable so I walked around the hospital for 10 minutes then got in the jacuzzi tub until 3. When they checke me I was at a 4 and decided to break my water I started to feel my contractions strongly at about 4ish I lasted about 30 minutes with super painful contractions then decided to get the epidural when I was dialated to a 5. That was a life saver around 6 am I had to get checked again because every time I had a contraction my little mans heart would drop, I was at an 8. Not even 10 minutes later I started to feel the urge to push so they checked me again and I was 10!!!!! I did 9 practice pushes before my doc got there and had to wait about 30 minutes for the baby to turn the correct way. I finally really started pushing at about 8:30 am and he was born at 9:01 am Thursday morning. He is the most  precious boy I have ever laid eyes on. I love him so much. I had a pretty easy labor and delivery except for when he was starting to actually come out then it was painful I only had to get one stitch because of a little tear! My little boy weighed 6lbs 13 oz and was 19.5in long.
