Riley and I checked into the hospital Monday morning at 7:00. By 9:00 the nurse had started the pitocin. Because of my heart condition, my doctor decided that I should have an epidural early, so I received that at 11:00.
Dr. Roles broke my water at 12:45 when I was dilated to 2 cm. I was hopeful that this would get things moving along, but by 5:30 I wasn't quite to 5 cm. Riley and I had prepared to have a late night or early morning baby at this point.
A little after 7:30, I was feeling uncomfortable and mentioned to Riley that I didn't think my epidural was working right. Little did I know, we were ready to welcome baby! The room quickly filled with people and we were ready to go.
