I tweeted a bit while I was in labor, but I tried to steer clear of tmi tweets. No one wants to know how dilated I am, right? Well if you are a mom, you might be interested in that kind of thing. I know I am! So here's a brief run down of my day:
7:00am Show up at the hospital
7:15 Get into the sexiest hospital gown you ever did see (NOT)
8:00 After three attempts they finally found a vein and got me some pitocin
10:00 I started feeling contractions so I asked for an epidural. I like to be prepared.
11:30 Got me that epidural and spent some time missing my legs.
12:00pm Dilated to a 5
1:30 Dilated to a 9
1:45 Felt the urge to push, never felt that with Olivia. Didn't think to call the nurse, I knew she would be back soon. She called my dr and he got on his way!
2:10 My doctor arrived
2:23 Pushed twice, head out. Pushed two more times, we have a baby!
Congratulations! What a handsome fella!!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! And you look way too good to have literally just had a baby! Congrats and um... Jealous? 38 weeks here and I can't stand to be me right now. I just want to sit in a corner and cry and eat cheese.... Preferably pitocin laced cheese. Yes that would do the trick ;)
ReplyDeleteYou do NOT look like you just went through labor. What beautiful photos! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteKim - you look freaking gorgeous! And Axel - what a stinkin' cute name. Congratulations! Can't wait to meet him :)
ReplyDeleteHooray for babies coming! I like the rundown of your day, TMI and all. :) Congratulations!
ReplyDeletehe is so sweet! Glad he got here safely. Your hungry tweets were cracking me up. Been there! :)
ReplyDeleteI could hate you for this birth story, but I like you too much. And Axel is such a cutie! :)
