I was scheduled to be induced on Wednesday, the 25th. Early Monday morning I woke up feeling something I thought could be early contractions. They stopped when I woke up to take a shower so I figured it was just Braxton Hicks. At about 3pm I started having more and they were getting closer together. I spent the rest of the afternoon trying to figure out if this was really something or if I was just having false labor. Finally, I told Justin to come home just in case. We tried going on a walk to see if they would stop... but they didn't. So at about 9:30pm we headed to the hospital and they were getting really close together on the way down. I got there at 10pm and told them I wasn't sure what was going on. They checked me and I was 4 1/2 centimeters so they said they were going to keep me. I was in so much pain at that point and I wanted the epidural so badly! Eventually they moved me to a delivery room and I finally got the epidural. They checked me right after that and I was already at a 9! So an hour later the doctor got to the hospital and after a few pushes I had her at 1am Tuesday morning. So... I went from thinking I was in false labor when I arrived at the hospital to having her three hours later. This was very unexpected but despite the fact that I would have preferred the epidural much sooner, I was so happy it went so quickly and so smoothly. We took her home from the hospital Wednesday morning.
We are so happy to have baby Nora here. She is so tiny and adorable. We are in love with our little girl!
