She is here!!!

So I was checked last at 5:45pm yesterday and was only 1 cm and 75% effaced, I decided to eat dinner and then I started to get stronger contractions around 6:30 so I went to take a bath by 8pm I was in a lot of pain and couldn't talk through contractions so I had the check me  I was 100% effaced and 5 cm !!!  by 9:30 I had my epidural and was feeling amazing by 1:15am I was 10 cm and at 1:45am I was starting to push and at 3:32 am my beautiful baby girl was born she weighed 9lbs 6 oz and was 21 inches long!!! We named her Melody Marie.
I did have to have an episiotomy which wasn't bad but I am up and walking around with mild pain so I am pretty happy.
