Her due date was January 13th but she was born on January 21st because mommy got induced. Labor was long and hard, we started our induction process at 12:15 am on the 20th by a dose of miso. Things started picking up rather fast thankfully contractions weren’t too strong that night so thankfully I got some sleep. I was supposed to get another dose of miso every 4 hours but things where moving along so well we didn’t need one until about 12:15 am that day. Nurse gave me another dose vaginally, and contractions started slowly getting worse until they where so bad I was crying, and just wanted it a break. They where close together but we still weren’t dilating very fast. The rest of that Sunday was spent in a lot of horrible pain and the contractions felt like they just weren’t going to stop or let up for me to get a breather. 9:30 that night we finally decided to get the epidural and let me just tell you that was the best decision I ever made, not only did I get sleep threw the night my body was relaxed from me not fighting the pain of the contractions so my cervix was able to open up a lot more a lot faster. At around 12 am ( 24 hours later) the nurse checked my cervix and it had finally made it to a 5! We where so happy and thankful after all that work we where finally making some good progress. I was able to go back to bed and the nurses came back in at 2:15 to check me again, we had made it to 8 cm by then!! Our doctor came in at 3:15 and we had moved to a 9 and we started pushing about an hour later. Took 55 minutes to pop out girl out and she was born at 5:07 am on January 21st! We thought we where going to have a Capricorn baby but we ended having an Aquarius! She weighed 7 pounds and 13 ounces, was 21 inches long and had a 13 inch head! We’re so happy to finally have our babygirl ❤️
