Well, ladies I had her November 13th at 11:51 pm (I was determined to have her on the 13th, 9 mins to spare, lol).   My birth went amazing.  I was scheduled to have an induction on friday but I actually went into labor on wednesday.  I lost my what I think is my mocus plug.  And that brought on contractions with lots of pain at 7:00 pm.  So we called the doctor and he said wait until they get to 3 mins apart then come to the hospital.  So we timed them until they were.  by midnight we were headed to the hospital.  They monitored me and said that nothing with my cervix (still at a 1 had changed at all and they sent me home at 2:30am.  I went home and had contractions all the way until my docs appointment on thursday at 1:30 pm.  When I got to my docs, he checked me and I was dialitied to a 3-4.  So he said to get straight to the hospital because I was in labor.  So I was at the hospital by 2:00 pm.  They gave me my epidural around 6 pm.  And let me tell you that getting the epidural was the best decision I ever made.  I couldnt feel anything.  At 7:00pm they came in and broke my water and started my pitocin.  At 10:00 they came in to check me and I was dialited to a 10 with a tiny lip of my cervix left.  So they came back in at 11:00 and I was ready to push.  I didnt even know that my contractions were happening.  I could not feel my legs or lift them. But I managed to push her out at 11:51pm.  But I am so happy with my epidural.  I was able to totally enjoy the whole labor and delivery.  I wasnt in any pain.  
She is absolutely amazing.  I am so in love.  Hope everyone else delivers very soon.

Oops I also meant to say she was 8lbs and 4 oz.  Her head and belly measured 13 1/2.  And she is totally healthy.  we came home on Saturday.  I guess I am a little sleep deprived.
