Here is a picture of us before we left the house!
We got to the hospital and immediately they got me in the bed and started my IV. I had 3 nurses get me checked in and they were laughing that you don't normally get that much attention but we guessed it was a slow morning at the maternity wing!
Then the waiting began I was in the bed by 5:45 with my IV started and then they came in at 8:45 to break my water. She asked if I wanted the epidural then. I said as soon as I can have it would be great. Then they informed me I had to have 2 huge bags of fluid before I could have the epidural so we waited again... Finally at 10:10 they came in and gave me the epidural!
We waited some more... with company though!
I dilated to a 10 and the nurses were busy with a c-section then and since I had an epidural they delivered another girl before me also. So I had 2 women deliver before they came in to deliver Calen. It was not a big deal to me since I couldn't feel the contractions except for the part where Calen would shove a foot in my left rib cage! At 2:20 the Doctor came in and kicked out our parents and they got me ready to deliver. I pushed roughly 9 times and
Calen was here at 2:42.
I was freezing after I had him! It is so weird how your hormones go all crazy and 1 minute you are burning up and the next you are freezing!
