Birthing Details

I guess I forgot to write about the delivery day. It's on my sister's blog and didn't realize that it wasn't on mine. So I'm putting it on today. This is as of October 15th.
So I went to the Dr. earlier today. I was at a 3 and having regular contractions. I guess they thought the regular contractions weren't close enough so they sent me home! Craziness. So my sister took me to her house and we were timing the contractions. Earlier, the Dr. suggested that I take a bath to see if the contractions would continue or not. I took her up on it after I had lunch and they got closer after that. By the time Dan and I left for the hospital, they were 2-3 minutes apart! It was not intentional for us to leave when they were so close together, but the bath sped things up quickly and there is construction where my sister lives, which delayed Dan about 15 minutes.

Megan was breech so I ended up having a c-section.

My sister like the great things I said after I had my epidural, so here are my quotes:
  • "God bless America and modern medicine!"
I was in quite a bit of pain before my epidural. Afterwards, I told the anesthesiologist:
  • "Whatever you make, they should double your salary!" (And I wasn't kidding!)
