Birth Story: I woke up Monday morning at 2:30 to a wet bed! My water broke so I woke Chris and the first thing he said was "Yay!" I freaked out a little but eventually took a shower and attempted to eat a bowl of cereal. We left for the hospital and I was in my room by 5:00 am. After three horrible tries they got my IV in. They checked me and I was only dilated at 2 cm. My contractions were 5 minutes apart but I wasn't even feeling them. By 10:30 am I was at a 3 so they called the anesthesiologist and by 11:15 am I had my epidural. One of my biggest fears was getting the epidural, but it was a piece of cake compared to the IV. After about an hour I was dilated to a 4 and I wasn't in any pain until 1:45 pm rolled around. They checked me and I was finally at a 9! The epidural stopped working on my left side and my contractions were so painful. Chris was amazing through every single one... I couldn't have done it without him! They called my amazing doctor and by the time he got there it was time to push. I pushed for 18 minutes and Landon was born at 2:53 pm! It was the most amazing feeling and I couldn't have been blessed with a better labor and delivery! My nurse and doctor were so fantastic! We got our golden hour and then we were moved to a postpartum room. So many of our family and friends came to visit and we were showered with so much love! We got to go home around 8:00 Tuesday night and life has been wonderful! Landon makes us so happy :)
