Just so you all know, labor started pretty much w/ the induction on Monday morning at 7 am w/ the first dose of citatec (sp?) which made my uterus hyperactive w/ contractions about every 1-2 min apart. I received a 2nd dose (vaginally instead of orally, hoping that it would affect the cervix more than the uterus) at 2:30 which had the same affect (hyperactive uterus). So i got 2 doses of turbuline to slow the contractions b/c rhyan’s heartrate was not tolerating it well. On the upside, it did work on my cervix! Then my water broke on its own at 9:30, i got an epidural at 10:30, it quit working at 12, i finally got another one at 2am and started pushing at 5:40. At 6:47am, Rhyan was here! She weighed 7lbs 13oz and was 19 and 3/4 inches long. Precious.
I’m officially in love. Jeff was great through it all and continues to pamper both of us girls
congratulations!!!! I’m so excited for yall!!!
