Maizie Jade decided to join us one day before she was due!! Had mild inconsistent contractions from 7am on the 9th, went to the hospital at 7pm and got sent home at 8pm, contractions not close enough together yet & only 2cm

They got painful as soon as we got home but still not close enough together. I slept from 12am-2Am but kept waking up to contractions so I decided to stay up and time them! By the time my husband’s alarm went off at 6 I was almost at an hour of contractions 5mins apart & I was in pain!!! I didn’t wanna get sent home again so we took our time heading out, maybe got there at 7:30 am! By 8 we were admitted! I was 6cm!! I got the epidural around 10am, got checked again at 11:15ish, 10cm! They had to break my water, which was a big theatrical splash 😳 dr had to change! Lol 11:20ish I started pushing and baby was here by 11:43!! She’s 7lb10oz 20.5inches! We’re a family of four 🩵🩷
