About an hour into labor I started to really start feeling the contractions, so they gave me a booster shot of drugs. Forty-five minutes later I am having to hee-hee breathe and I am really uncomfortable. My nurse called for the anesthesiologist to come and give me a new epidural. What had happened was the catheter had fallen out. Not fun!!! So I experienced about an hour and a half of active labor up to 7 cm. After I got the new epidural life was grand! I started pushing at 1 pm and Sydney Yvette was born at 2:42 pm. The doctor said she came out with her eyes wide open and she was holding the umbilical cord in her arms. She weighed a whopping 6 lbs 5 oz and was 20.75 inches.
We came home Friday afternoon and we are doing great. I have to say this is more than I ever could have imagined and my heart is over flowing with love for this little person.
