Neal's Story
I decided I wanted him to come early...
So I had my Dr. strip my membranes on Wed morning. Unfortunately this didnt do much for me
I had my Dr. strip my membranes again on Thursday morning at 9
I dropped off some things at DI and then went home
By 10:30 I was having contractions every 3-5 minutes
I called the Dr. office and asked what I should do because they were not painful but consistent
Off to the hospital we went
They monitored me for an hour and I was staying the same 4 cm dilated
So we went to In n Out (still having sporadic contractions)
I told Josh to go run his errands and I would call him often and keep him posted
By 4:00 they were still sporadic, but starting to get more painful
I decided that I wanted to move things along quickly so I tried pumping some milk
Josh came home to me crying on the bed, bags packed, and Grace with her cousins. I was READY to go
We checked in at the hospital at 5 and I was dilated to a 5
I had to wait for 30 min for a delivery room to open up and get cleaned
Then off to the delivery room and my heavenly epidural
They gave me a little pitocin and checked me at 7:45 and I was 10cm
I pushed through 3 contractions and Neal was here! Perfect and healthy
