2:00 AM, June 13th, 2006 mommy awakes to uncomfortable cramping which continue through the night.
5:30 AM daddy awakes to mommy in the shower demanding chocolate chip pancakes.
6:30 AM Ana awakes to mommy grabbing, cuddling and offering her chocolate chip pancakes (which mommy was too sick to eat).
7:00 AM Mommy refuses to allow daddy to take her to the hospital (even though contractions were now 3-4 minutes apart and causing crawling around on the floor) in fear of "false labor"
7:15 AM Nana awakes to CHAOS and reminds mommy that an epidural awaits if I go to the hospital
7:30 AM Mommy and Daddy leave, in the heat of rush hour, for Northside Hospital
8:30 AM Hospital staff see the look on mommy's face and IMMEDIATELY admit her with epidural papers in hand to be signed
5+ cm/ 95-100 %.....almost missed the epidural
9:10 Mommy is happy as a clam as the epidural drips through her core :) :) :) :)
11:45 water breaks
12:05 pushing begins
12:15 Taylor Lorraine joins us (after only 4 pushes)
Taylor was stepping on her umbilical cord so Daddy couldn't cut it, and she was a bit blue and needed some O2. She also had low blood sugar levels so had to be taken to the nursery....all things that caused us much stress those first few hours, but by 5:00 she was back with us and healthy, happy and eating away!
Such a day it was!
