February 22, 2009 I awoke at 4:45am and my water had broken! I woke Tony and he was a little surprised. I quickly jumped in the shower and had Tony pack James' last minute items. Luckily my friend Shaunna lives very close and could watch James while we headed to the hospital. By the time I got to Kaiser Roseville L&D triage, it was 6:45am. The doctor came to check me and confirm my water had broken I was dilated to 3, 80% effaced and -2 station (funny how they never believe the actual person it happened to.) After that I was transferred to L&D. I labored until about 12:00 or so with no progress so they started me on a "whiff" of pit. Then the pain began, I opted for an epidural which did not work except to numb my legs. My contractions were so intense I was throwing up, which only made the pain worse, but must have worked because I went from 5 cm to complete in 2 hours. Then I was ready to push. Pushing through contractions is definitely a lot better then breathing through them! A couple good sets of pushes and he was out, I had no tears and nothing to repair! Lucas came into the world at 6:18pm healthy, happy, and beautiful!
