Dillon was welomed into the world on March 10th at 3:30pm. Things could not have gone more smooth for us. Alarm clock went off at 6:40am to head to the gym and I wasn't feeling great so we decided against it and thank goodness we did b/c at 7:00am my water broke and boy that was a crazy feeling!
We arrive at the hospital not more than 15 minutes later and here come the contractions. I went from about 7:30am - 10:30am all natural, just Chris and I and the nurse (who was awesome!). At 11am I asked for the epidural and if I would have known how relaxed it would have made me felt then I would have asked for it earlier for sure! Chris's parents and sister and my parents arrived and we hung out in the huge birthing room until about 2:30pm when the doctor came in for a check and I was ready to go! I pushed for no more than 45 minutes and out came Dillon and he is precious! A very emotional moment for Chris and I both, I never imaged anything like it truthfully.
Tuesday night Chris and I hung the letters for Dillon above the crib and the video monitor and thank goodness we did! A mother's intution or something I guess.
I don't have the right cord for the camera at the hospital so I promise photos later!!

I am happy you had a good experience and that you live close to the hospital.
