My Wonderful/Crazy Adventure of Bringing Nolan into the World!! (Part 1)

Nolan's Birth Story
(the short version)
- Started irregular contractions the weekend of August 13th.
- Regular contractions began on Monday, August 15th.
- Awesome, strong contractions all day Tuesday, August 16th.
- Went into the hospital Tuesday night with a dilation of 4cm.
- Admitted after an hour of walking the halls and change in dilation to 5cm.
- Water broke naturally after being admitted.
- Labored all night, stalled at 6cm for about 7 hours or so.
- Felt awful, awful back labor as Baby Nolan was positioned posterior.
- Finally decided to get an epidural to see if things would progress after going "natural" for over 30 hours.
- Took a nap after epidural.
- Progressed with a small amount of pitocin within a few hours.
- Ready to push, push, push = hard work!
- Had Nolan at 5:28 p.m.
