Cyrene-Elizabeth`s birthstory

We arrived at the hospital at 7:00 am for my scheduled inducement. We were settled in our L&D room around 8:00 am and they started the induction with a small pill placed next to the cervix. 4 hours later, not change and they inserted another pill around 12:00. Checked again at 4:00 pm and still little change so another pill was inserted. An hour later I got up to use the bathroom and my water broke! I could not believe how much fluid came out and it just continued to flow all the way up till delivery. I climb back in bed and called the nurses. My contractions started up and an hour later I had to ask for an epidural. Around 8:00 my Dr checked me and I was barely dilated. Grrr..... Started the pitocin and I was starting to think I would not deliver till the 20th. The pitocin really got things moving though. My contractions picked up and by 10:00 I had dilated to 7 cm. At 11:00 pm I felt pressure and the need to push. Dr and nurses arrived and set I was ready to go! I was so excited I was shaking!!! A nurse stood on either side and held my legs, my husband helped me curl my back up and I pushed for close to an hour. The Dr was going to have to use a vaccuum if I did not deliver soon - that seemed to give me the strength to push her out and at 11:53 Cyrene Elizabeth was born!!! They put her on my chest and the first thing I noticed was that she has a perfect miniature of my husband`s nose! LOL! She is healthy and gorgeous and such a good baby. Already sleeping through the night and eating lots and lots. Her father and I could not be happier or more in love.
