I have to thank my sisters for updating my blog for me. It has taken me a while to catch up on e-mails and Facebook posts, so I am sorry for the delay, but here are the pics from our perspective and the labor story (the non-graphic details). Forgive the typos, I have a little guy asleep on my chest which makes typing interesting:)
As most of you know, I had contractions for almost a month before this little guy decided to arrive, which led to 3 false alarms and getting to know the nursing staff at he new hospital quite well! But then on Thursday night my water broke and everything just stopped. I had maybe 3-5 contractions from 9 p.m. until they put me on pitocin at 3 a.m. We were scheduled to be induced Friday morning anyway, but Rowan had other plans. Both my sisters had really fast second labors so I had worried mine might go quick too. Even my doctor said she would have put me on pitocin sooner but she was delivering a set of twins at North Memorial that morning and she was worried she wouldn't make it to Maple Grove in time if she did, based on that history...so needless to say I was a bit surprised when 13 hours later Rowan entered the world:)
I did get my epidural though, so labor itself went ok. Took a few naps...but my poor mom had her first official all-nighter and pulled something like 36 hours with no sleep! THANKS MOM!!! Josh is still working on the sleep deprivation too...but overall I am feeilng good! Thanks to all for the well wishes and we look forward to introducing y'all to the little Doodle real soon:)
