Summer Olivia

Here are the deets:

My due date came and went...which really was no surprise (although I HOPED maybe she'd come early).  I saw my doctor, and she scheduled to induce me on Saturday, May 31st.  I got a call from the hospital Saturday afternoon postponing my induction for Sunday morning...June 1st...frustrating.  When I went in Sunday morning they monitored the baby's heart, gave me an ultrasound and sent me home:(  I was so discouraged.  But they promised me the next morning I'd be able to stay, "yeah right" was my thinking.

Monday, June 2nd.

I went to the hospital and they didn't send me home!!  They hooked me up to pitocin to start contractions.  Hour after hour went by and I still wasn't progressing at all...my contractions weren't even painful (with all my other babies, once I was hooked up to pitocin, the baby arrived within about 4 hours).  So by the time I had been there about 10 hours, I was really frustrated.  The doctor suggested breaking my water, so I agreed.  I got my epidural and my water was broken by 8:10pm.  I fell asleep (thank you epidural) for 2 hours and when I woke up I was 8cm dialated!!  I then started to feel some pretty strong contractions and within minutes I was ready to push.  Three pushes and baby was here at 10:58pm.
