Nola arrived on 01/11/2017 at 5:30pm.

Only 4 days over due. Started labor on Saturday night at 8pm, went to the hospital Sunday morning around 3am. I was told I was only 1cm dilated so I was sent home (which I was fine with that). Labored at home for 4 days. Wednesday morning went to my scheduled doc. appt. My doctor checked me and told me I was 6cm dilated and I needed to head to the hospital. That was music to my husband and I ears. We headed home to pick up some last item things because our bags where already packed and in the car since Sunday morning. Anyway by the time we did that and got to the hospital which by the way is 30 mins away I was now at 7cm dilated. Within an hour or so I was at 8cm. I stayed at 8cm for a little while so they started me on potocin. That moved things along. I pushed for 15 mins and out came our blessing from God.
