It all started at 10:30am September 15. I was on my way to the grocery store when I stared feeling a little different then usual. I headed to my parents house to see what my mommy thought. She was all excited and said "it sounds like you're going into preterm labor, this kid will be here in like 16 hours!" So I headed for my parents bed to hangout a while. At about noon my contractions we a little more intense so I called the hospital and they said the same, see you in about 16 hours. So I figured lie in bed, have a sandwich, and enjoy the rest of my child free life. My best friend Jenni and her mom Linda came over to keep me company while waiting the long 16 hours! At about 12:30 my pain really started to increase. We started tracking contractions at about 1 every 2.5 minutes for like 20 seconds. 15 mins later 1 every 2 mins for about 30 seconds. 15 mins later 1 every 1.5 minutes for about 45 seconds. This baby was not waiting 16 hours to come out! We bolted for the hospital as I texted to let family and friends know we are on our _way! Got to the hospital and was 5 centimeters dilated! The nurse started me on an IV to to prep me for the epidural, which would take 30 mins to drip. The IV didn't even get half way down and I let out "the scream". The nurse checked me again and I was 9 centimeters. I look at her and ask her "can I please get my epidural?" She unfortunately responds with "oh honey you can't get an epidural." WTF! You've got to be kidding me! I gotta push this kid out with no pain medicine! OMG! I was so scared, but I had no choice. Not minutes later I'm yelling "I've got to push!" Well apparently the Dr hadn't arrived yet because I was progressing too fast so they told me I wasn't aloud to push. Really!! That is not possible, when the baby wants to come, there is no stopping the little one. The Dr finally arrives (mind you not my Dr or the Dr on call but another Dr that was supposed to be on another case but got rushed over to me) and in 23 mins of pushing my little William Robert was born on September 15, 2010 at 3:13 pm. Weighing in at 6 lbs 2 oz and 19 inches long. He was just perfect! I never thought I could be so happy!!
Thank you so much to my parents, Chelsie, Jenni, Linda and of course my wonderful husband Eric for everything you guys did.
