9 days late and completely worth the wait! I'm finally a mom! (PICS work now) =)

Abigail Rose finally made her appearance! All 9 pounds 5 ounces of her!

The quick run down- i was induced at 9pm friday night. Was supposed to get cytotec every 3 hours to thin the cervix (i had been 2cm, 60% for 3 weeks). I got 1 dose and couldn't receive anymore b/c my contractions were coming on too fast (1.5-2 mins apart), but i couldnt feel them at this point. Reexamined every hour and had NO progress (i think at one point i got up to 70% effaced, but was still only 2cms). DH and I def thought i was basically headed towards a c-section at this point. At 5am, i started feeling the contractions. They were coming on strong and fast (almost no rest period in between them at all!). I got Stadol for the pain and it was terrible. I might have slept for an hour after getting it, but the effect it had on me was not worth it at all (felt completely drunk and drugged... looking at DH, he looked like a kaleidoscope) and it didn't stop the pain, either. At 7am the pain was unbearable. They checked me, i was 3cm (tiny progress- i was in such a fog that i didnt even care what the number was, i just wanted some relief). Got the epi at 7am and they started the Pitocin right after. GOD BLESS THE INVENTOR OF THE EPIDURAL! Chat Icon I went back to sleep.

My Dr. came in around 9:15am, checked me (i definitely though he was going to say that we were headed towards a c/s). He does the exam and says, "OK, you're fully dialted and ready to go! I'm going to change and we'll get this baby out!". Then he broke my water.

I started pushing just after 10am. 20 minutes of pushing and i vaginally delivered Abby! Amazing and Surreal. I really don't even know how else to describe it. Chat Icon DH was amazing for all of it! The man who gets queasy from a paper cut was up close and personal for all of it, and never even flinched.

We're so in love! And... she has hair! I dont think i had hair until i was 5 years old, so we were pretty excited about that! Chat Icon So, here she is:
