I woke up at about 1 AM with some random pains, nothing too serious, just some aching, I went to the bathroom and had some blood in my discharge when I wiped. At 4:30 when my husband woke up for work, I let him know that today could be the day, and to keep his phone on him during his shift

I had my doctors appointment at 8 AM, my doctor checked me, and told me I was 5 CM and to head to the hospital, I asked if I could go home and wait for my husband to get back from work and he said he didn't think I should risk it.

I got to the hospital at 8:30, had a few contractions, they checked me again and I was 9 cm

Right after they checked me the pain got 10000000x worse! So so so bad, I could barely breathe, felt like i was going to throw up, one of the nurses was driving me crazy. At about 9:30 I begged for the epidural for 45 minutes, I swear they were taking their time on purpose. It came so fast with my first but it took forever this time around. I finally got it about about 10:30, adjusted me a little for the epidural to start working, and at about 10:40, before the epidural even fully started working, I had a HUUGGEEE urge to push! I only pushed for a few minutes, and he was out at 10:46!

The day before his due date, October 1st, 8 pounds exact, 21 inches long exact, and absolutely perfect
