When I got back to the hospital I was checked at 8:30am and at a 3. The doctor said I could have an epidural so I took it. Before that I sat in the jacuzzi for awhile but it didn't help. The epidural was painful to put in this time and I had a contraction in the middle of it. Not fun, and it didn't work so guess what I got to do? Give birth feeling everything! Though it was very painful it was a lot quicker as I had complete control. At 11 I was checked again and fully dilated. I was not expecting it to go that fast! They shouted for the doctor as they could feel his head and I started pushing at about 11:30. I had him around 1 in the afternoon.

Me, in a lot of pain. Can you tell?


Eddy sleeping. He probably would have missed it if we didn't wake him up.


Pushing




It was funny because I was laughing during pushes. I don't know why but I found the whole thing funny. Here are all these people grunting along with me and I just could not help myself but to laugh. As soon as he came out he started wailing. He's got quite a set of lungs on him!
