WOW!!! What a day Wednesday was for us. The hospital called at 5:00 am and told us to be there by 6:30 am. We got our stuff ready and since TJ was suppose to work that morning we had to pick up two of his employees and take them to work and open up the store plus we stopped at the redbox to get some dvd's for Tj to watch since my inductions usually take all day. We got to the hospital and they started my pitocin at about 7:00 am and then broke my water at 8:30 when I was dilated to a three and 80% effaced. Well around 10:00 I was starting to really feeling like I wanted my epidural so in came the anaesthesiologist, at 10:30 I was at a five and 80% effaced. By 11:00 I am in screaming pain on only my left side. He tried a ton of different medications and techniques but nothing was helping. He told me he gave me more meds then a c-section would need and that the epidural must be surrounded by scar tissue from my previous births. So he moved up the Epidural and inch and within fifteen minutes I was in heaven. So after two epidurals and an hour or so in agonizing pain, the nurse checked me at 12:15 and I was dilated to a 7 and 100% effaced, she guessed I would have her at 2:00pm. We called everyone and told them to start coming in and then I told TJ I didn't think I would make it to 2:00, I could feel the pressure of her head like she was right there ready to go. The nurse came in ten minutes later and I told her I could feel her so she checked me and said I was ready to go. Yep I went from a 7 to a 10 in minutes. TJ's mom had just got there and my family was on their way as far as everyone else we knew it was too late. We told the nurse we need to try and wait ten minutes my parents and sister were almost there. I started pushing and in came my family and TJ's dad. I pushed through two contractions with the nurse and thought she was going to deliver her. Cecilie came in as my Dr. came and after pushing through three contractions out she came at 12:44 pm. Heather walked in right after, we were all in shock it happened so fast! Sophie Bentley was 6lbs 15Oz's and 19 inches! She is so cute and has the funniest little cry, she sounds like a goat. She is feeding like a champ and we are all in love with her!
