(If you want to read the delivery story it's below the pictures)
My water broke at home on Tuesday night at about 11:15pm. Since Brian was at work I called my parents to take me to the hospital and stay with Cade. I had to have a test done to make sure that my water had actually broken. Once they had done the test and made sure she was facing head down they admitted me into labor and delivery. At around 3:30am I still wasn't having any contractions on my own so they started me on pitocin. That started working right away and I was having a contraction every 2-3 minutes. I had and epidural put in as soon as possible, about 45 minutes later(I do not have a very high pain threshold). Brian was still at work but I was checking in with him every hour or so. He got to the hospital at around 7am. I sent him to get some breakfast and while he was gone they checked me and found out it was time to start pushing. We were both really surprised that it was happening so fast since it took so much longer with Cade. They called my doctor who had just gotten to the clinic downstairs. She came right up to deliver our baby. We started pushing just after 8am and she was born at 8:20am. It only took 3 contractions and then she was here. It was completely opposite from Cade's delivery. I had the best epidural. It blocked the pain in all the right places and I had full control of my legs. It was heaven sent.
We have been home for a week now and are still adjusting to our new life. Each day gets a little better. Cade is doing great with her. He isn't too interested in holding her but will give her the occasional kiss. He loves to help throw away her diapers or bring me a binky or her bottle. I hope he keeps being so helpful.
