What a day!!

5:50am: Contractions 5 minutes apart.

6:10am: Woke Rod up and told him maybe he should get ready but to take his time (in retrospect I should have told him to hurry)

7:05am: A few minutes before we left for the hospital.
7:10-7:45: Ride to the hospital in rush hour traffic!! Contractions now 3 minutes apart and getting stronger.

7:45: Arrive at Barnes and walk in from the parking garage. I think the people having their morning coffee at Starbucks could have done without the contraction I had as I was walking past.
This smile is totally fake!

8:15: Finally made it to triage. Only dilated 4cm, I was very discouraged.

9:10: I was checked again, dilated 5cm.
9:25: Walked to the delivery room
9:30: Asked for an epidural, I tried as long as I could.
9:40: Dilated 7cm
9:45: Time for an epidural!!
9:50: I think I need to push, 10cm, I guess no epidural
9:58 Baby Natalie Ann Washausen is born! 7 pounds 11.4 ounces 20 inches
