Reid and I decided to cook some spaghetti for dinner and made a quick run to Fresh n' Easy. While in the store I felt a few pains here & there, but nothing severe enough to make me think I was in labor. We got home and I started boiling some water, as Reid hopped back in the car to pickup a friend to join us for dinner. While he was gone the pains grew stronger & stronger...I abandoned my boiling water (I know, not the smartest idea) and laid down in bed to get more comfortable. Minutes later Reid arrived w/his friend...I texted him from upstairs that I wasn't feeling well. Deep down we knew this was it!! They shoveled their food down while I continued to use my cell phone to time the contractions :)
We jumped (Reid jumped, I probably crawled) in the car & headed to the hospital...after the basic questions and checkup the nurse determined I wasn't dilated enough, gave me a sleeping pill & said if this doesn't get you to sleep then YOU ARE really in labor and come back! So back to the house we went...I tried & tried to sleep...tossed and turned for a hour and finally told Reid it was time to get back in the car.
We arrived at the hospital, they gave me the wonderful epidural and I fell fast asleep. I woke up around 9am, waited around for the doc, was greeted by my wonderful sis Kelly just in time to gear up the video camera & 5 pain free pushes later our precious little girl made her grand entrance!! She was absolutely perfect...
