Genevieve-Anne`s birthstory
Well, my birthday is October 22nd and my family took me out to dinner for my birthday on Monday, the 22nd. So everything was fine, I was feeling kind of crampy on Monday, but just assumed she was moving around down there. And I think I lost my mucus on Monday. So anyway, I went to bed Monday night and got up as usual to go to the bathroom a couple times. So I went to the bathroom around 3:50am and when I was crawling back into bed, I felt a little `pop` and then a little gush of fluid come out. So I ran back to the bathroom and every time I stood up some more clear fluid would come out. So I woke my husband up and told him that I thought my water had broken. He jumped up and we had to pack my bags because this was all happening 2 weeks early. So I called my doctor and she told me to go to the hospital. It was so cute...we pulled up to the ER entrance and my husband ran in saying `my wife is in labor`. It felt like we were in a movie. So they wheeled my up to the L&D floor. They checked me around 7:00am and I was already 3-4 centimeters dilated. Now at this point, I still wasn`t feeling so bad...not too much pain or anything. So a little bit after she checked me, it got really painful. So I asked for an epidural. Let me just tell you that the epidural is the greatest thing in the world. I couldn`t feel anything after that. So they checked me again around 12:00 pm and I was 5-6 centimeters dilated. They had given me pitocin to speed thing up a little. Around 1:00pm, I was starting to feel the contractions again, so I asked the nurse for more of the epidural and she told me she had to check me first to see how far along we were. So she checked me and, low and behold, I was 10 centimeters....I was like...already!!!!!! So, I started pushing....one hour later out she popped. And she literally popped out. She came flying out. I was crying...She is so beautiful...I can`t believe I am a Mom!!!
