Jordan Elizabeth

Jordan Elizabeth finally arrived 6 days late on March 8, 2011 at 10:57 am.
7lbs 15ox and 21.5inches long

I woke up Tuesday morning at about 1am with contractions about every 10min. I got out of bed at about 3 as they were getting closer together. They were about 5min apart so I called labor and delivery and they told me to take a bath and labor at home as much as I could. I called them back at about 5:30am and told them we were on our way in as they were getting very strong. We get to the hospital and they put me an exam room to see how often the contractions are happening which was about every 4-5 min. They checked me and said I was 5cm and 100% effaced. I informed them I wanted an epidural. I had to get a bag of fluids in me before I could get the epidural. When I had that they called the anesthesiologist to give me the epidural. They called him 3 times as he was stuck in a c section that had some complications. I started feeling a lot of pressure and they checked me and I was 8cm. They called my doctor and she arrived. She checked me and I was 9.5 I decided to just go without the epidural at this point because it probably would not take and I had already gone this far with out it. My doctor broke my water which brought me to 10. She had me start pushing and in 12 minutes Jordan Elizabeth arrived. Daddy was very happy and cried, as did mommy. My doctor was very impressed how fast I pushed her out she called me a rock star. We are all doing well and are back at home, and are so happy our baby girl is finally here.
