Walter-Alexander-Sholar`s birthstory

My mother, my sister and law, and my friend Rachel had tickets to the Wizard of Oz (musical) at the Fox Theater here in Atlanta. At intermission I went to the bathroom and my water broke! It was one big gush and then it leaked and gushed agian when I sat on the toilet. We called the hospital and they told us to come in at some point during the night. I wasn`t having contractions so they said we had plenty of time. We left the Wizard of Oz and came back to my house where we met my husband and all changed our clothes (since I was soaked and we were all dressed for the theater).
My water broke at 9:30pm we got to the hospital at 11:00pm. Lucky for me my cousin`s fiancee was my OB nurse- she called me right before I left to let me know she was working and she could be my nurse- which was so perfect because that is what we wanted- I was afraid they were going to have to call her in and she wouldn`t be available. She immediately put me in the best delivery room in the hospital and got me admitted. I still wasn`t having contractions- or at least I didn`t think I was. They were very braxton hicks like. She put me in a robe and tried to test to see if my water had broken for sure- but of coarse by the time I got to the hospital the water had stopped leaking like before. She finally got it to go agian but the strips she was using were bad so it gave a both positive and negative reading. Finally she got a positive and told me that I was definately in labor and that I would not be leaving the hospital without a baby. I started getting small cotractions- still feels sort of like braxton hicks or menstral cramps. I got my epidural at about 2am and at that point I had 1 what I would consider painful contraction- which would end up being the only contraction pain that I felt. The process of getting the epidural was freaky- it didn`t really `hurt` but it was definately uncomfortable. I would do it agian in a heartbeat! My epidural worked EXACTLY the way they are intended to. I could feel the pressure of the contractions but not the pain. I was able to control the medicine so that if the pressure got severe I could give my self more medicine- that never happened until I started pushing. I started pushing at about 10:00am and he was born at 10:59am. It was really not bad at all- I didn`t feel anything. I don`t think I pooped on the table. He came out and cried they put him on my chest before they cut the cord- he stopped crying and just stared at me like `are you my mommy...` it was the best moment ever. He was beautiful. It`s such a great feeling to see this perfect little human that I`ve been so obscessed with for months. He is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. When you see his picture you`ll know what i mean.
He looks just like my husband- so I have to give him credit.
