Maggie's Birth Day

Wednesday, January 25, 2017...

12:14 am - I can't sleep.  
1:06 am - Neither can the baby. She is apparently anxiously awaiting her arrival as well. Constantly moving
4:55 am - Checked in at the hospital
5:45 am - Getting the IV...yay for rolling veins...
6:07 am - Starting Pitocin
8:33 am -- Closer to 3 cm and Dr. G just broke water. Contractions have been picking up. 
9:00 am - Got my epidural; requested a popcicle.
9:15 am - Gran arrives!
9:30 am - Where is my popcicle?!?
9:40 am - One popcicle is delivered followed by two more!
9:45 am - MiMi is here!
9:55 am - Why am I feeling weird?!?  Oh, probably b/c my bp is 80/45. I nearly passed out. The nurse adjusts my meds to bring me back to reality. Apparently this sometimes happens following epidurals. This was a new one for me...
10:15 am - Did not pass out or die...thankfully. Feeling better. 
10:30 am - About 6 cm
11:25 am - Mamaw, Lee, and Kasie come in
11:32 am - Everyone but Gran goes out for lunch
11:35 am - Eek!  I am 9.5 cm dilated. Called Scotty to come back in; Gran heads out
11:48 am - Dr. Gautreau arrives
11:53 am - Getting prepped to push
12:01 pm - She's here!!!
