early bird gets the worm!

I went to the dr on Monday and I was 1cm dilated and 80% effaced. Well Tuesday at work I was having contractions off and on all day long. They got to be 40mins apart and then I fell asleep. Didn't get much sleep though for I was having some massive back labor pains. Well here comes 6 o'clock in the morning and it's time to get up for work. But as I'm laying in bed I felt like I peed myself so I rushed to the bathroom to realize that water has broken. So I had to wake up the fiancé and finishing packing our bag. At this time the contractions aren't bad at all. So once we get in a room I had to walk for a little then they started pitocin and made me bounce on the birthing ball. Once the pitocin kicked in labor started to progress. I was at 4cm when I got checked next and decided to get an epidural to relax from the back pain. Once I got that I rested a litttle time it was time to be checked again. Then I was at 7cm. So the nurse stepped out and all I could feel was large amounts of pressure and I knew I needed to push so maybe after the nurse being gone 10mins she came back in and I was at 10cm and ready to go. I started pushing at 309pm and had Gentry at 330pm on 10/12/16! He weighs 6lbs 12.5oz and is 19 3/4in long! He's happy healthy and has stolen mommy and daddy's hearts
