Finally he is here!!!!
Here is the story...
Was scheduled for my induction at Orem Community at 6:30 a.m. Thursday morning.
6:00 A.M.- Left for hospital.
6:30 -Arrived and got to my room. Changed into and waited. And waited. And waited.
7:10- Got checked and was at 2-3 cent dilated. Got all the numerous questions done and paperwork done. Most of it anyway...
7:20-Got I.V all hooked up. Nurse Jill way super nice because she numbed the skin before she stuck me. SOOOO nice! Start pitocin drip.
8:20- Started feeling contractions a little more. Not su[er bad at all. Dr. Judd came in and broke water. Weirdest feeling ever!!!
10:00- Got epidural. Might as well be comfortable right? Had to have 2 extra doses after the first intial one because it would NOT work.
10:45- Very discouraged. Only at 4 cent.
11:15- So thought i was going to get out of the whole throwing up thing with this kid. NOT!!!! I'll spare the details
11:45- 5 cent. dilated. Super frustrated.
12:15 P.M.- 7 cent dilated. YAhoooooo!!! Finally making progress!
12:55- 8 Almost 9 cent dilated. Hurting with contractions really bad in one spot on my belly. Anethesiologist was called in and got 2 extra doses of the magic medicine. Finally worked. Side effects sucked. I'd rather throw up then feel pure labor.
1:15- My I.V. came out. Holy cow I bled all over the bed. 3 nurses came in and fixed me right up.
1:23-Finally got it all cleaned up and my cute nurse Jill decided to check me. FULLY DILATED. Holy crazy past little while. So happy!
1:40 Started pushing. and BAM!
1:46- Welcome Xander Logan Albright. All 9 lbs. 7 oz. and 21 inches of him!!! Yes. it was all me. Ok so I had a little help with the episiotomy but dang I'm good!!
