Ya I was quite lucky. I went into my OB on Monday since I was a day late. They did an ultrasound and determined that my fluid was on the high side. So they decided to induce me that nite. I went into labor and delivery at 9:45 PM on Jan 15. They started me on Cervadil at 11:25PM. Well I tried to get a little rest. Then at 6:10 AM on Jan 16 they came in and took the Cervadil out. I went and took the coldest shower of my life. I layed back down until 6:55. They came and started my pitocin. My midwife came in sometime around 8:15 and checked me and i was at 3cm. So she broke my water and boy did those contractions come hard and fast! Needless to say the anesthesiologist came in by 8:30 and got that epideural started. And girls I highly recommend getting it. I could have not made it without it. Well by this time my best friend was here and keeping me company and keeping my spirits up. I never expected her to see as much as she did. Well by 3pm I am starting to feel massive pressure in my rearend and wanting to push. Needless to say my epideural had worn off. They checked me and I was at 8-9cm. So they messed with the machine and finally the doctor had to come back at 4 and dose me again. They checked me again at 4:10 and he was right there. Well they got me pushing. Then decided my epideural was too high and had to turn it off since I was too numb to push. Well they came back about 4:30 and got me pushing again. Finally at 5:13 my little guy made his appearance. He was 8lbs11oz and 21 inches long. I was exhausted and had a fever. So they gave me some iv meds. He was a bit mucousy in the lungs and had a fever too. Well they did their thing and got us back to shape. I didnt tear and when I passed the rest of my fluid it was very clear. And I didnt poop on the table!!! He has been the perfect baby. We just got home after 24 hours postnatal. He is lying next to me sucking his pacifier. My back is a little sore but I am doing great and so is he!!

lucky you! Maddy tends to sleep good all day and then fuss more at night which doesn't bother me too much cuz i am not working but if we dont have it strightened out in a month i am gonna have problems. How many hours does he sleep at a time??? Maddy was sleeping like 5 hours at a time then the doctor told me to wake her up every 2 to feed her and that has been an ordeal. Are you breastfeeding?
