This little guy decided to make a grand appearance into the world. He came rolling in like a freight train!
The past couple weeks we have had to remodel the bathroom because of a big leak. The timing was horrible, but we pushed through and I told myself that as long as I had a functioning bathroom by the time our little guy arrived then it would be okay.
Monday night we had about 40sq ft of tile to put in. Brian cut the tile and I put it in. It was one of the least strenuous nights in the remodel so I wasn't expecting anything. We finished at 10:30, watched a show and went to bed around 11:30. At 1:30 I woke up from a contraction. Then another one came 3 min later. I turned to Brian and told him that I thought I was in labor. He grunted at me and rolled over.
At 1:45 I told him that we probably needed to go to the hospital. Which was crazy. I only had a few contractions, but they were really strong. Since it was 10 days before my due date I had nothing packed. We threw some stuff in bags, called Emily at a ridiculous hour and went to go drop the kids off.
By the time we dropped the kids off at 2:30 my contractions were a minute long and 2 minutes apart. I was starting to get worried that I wouldn't be able to have an epidural...
I think it was about 2:45 when I was in the labor room and hooked up to an iv when they checked to see where I was at. When the nurse hurried and left without saying anything, I just knew...she came back in and told me I was at a 9 and that I wouldn't be able to get an epidural. That pretty much freaked me out.
Thankfully my dr arrived shortly after that and helped me through it all. I just wanted to close my eyes until the whole thing was over. She coached me through it and 3 contractions later I had my new little boy. Only 2 hours of contractions...
I was in complete shock at how quickly things progressed...I'm still in shock. Now I'm worried the next baby will come when I sneeze!
