Thora Rose was anxious to come out and explore the world! She arrived at 37 weeks 5 days after a 14 hour labor with about an hour of pushing. Everything moved so quickly, I wasn't even convinced I was in labor until they broke my bag of waters. I really can't complain about the labor at all, though i did get an epidural after 8 hours of labor. The contractions got much more intense, longer and more frequent after they broke my water and I just needed a rest. She was born at 359 pm Sunday, March 19.
