Saturday, Jan 9 2010 I was due to have my baby, and I wasn't having any promising contractions, so we decided to go an hour south to Mound City to hang out with the fam. Throughout the day I had some contractions but nothing regular but when 10pm came around I was having hard contractions 9 min apart all night long. I got no sleep, we stayed home from church because I was miserable from the 9 min apart contractions. By 8pm I couldn't take it anymore it only went from 9 min apart to 8 min apart. We got to the hospital and I was only 2.5 centimeters so they watched me for several hours and I eventually got to a 4 they decided to keep me and said we're going to have a baby! Wa Hoo!! Finally, I thought. They eventually gave me an epidurl but I was still feeling the contractions when they couldn't figure out why, they called the anesthesiaologist and he came and looked at the epidurl and said it had fallen out. They had to give me another one. Finally at 5:30 my water broke, and at 6:30 I was only a 5. I thought I'm never going to have this baby. The next time they checked me it was 8am and I was a 10. I only needed my water to break.
