Earlier friday i tried accupressure points in my hand and my back to try and induce labor. I also played on swings with my older boys and chased my 1 year old around the house. After dinner It was 9 at night and my contractions started they were 5 minutes apart as we watched war room. When it was over they were still going so i took a hot shower to see if maybe they'd stop. They continued and after i couldnt stop with bathroom visits so i really did not believe it was true labor.  Especially with my past labor i couldnt use the restroom at all. Contractions got worse we called our babysitter and we headed to the hospital about 12:30 am contractions were lasting for 2 mins and were 4 minutes apart. We make it to the hospital and in a room about 1:20 and they had to check me in before they could check me. I was at a 4 with a bulging bag so they kept me. This hospital doesnt like to admit unless you are a 6 but since my bag was bulging the nurse said if i would have walked away it would have broken.  Ive had 4 deliveries and 1 was natural it was the best delivery i had have but this time he was not coming as fast and i got the epidural. They broke my water at 4:30 am and he was born at 4:47 took about 12 pushes and now he is here. We get to go home monday and he will meet his 4 older brothers. So very blessed!
