On Monday, August 9th, Nate and I went to our 40 week appointment. The doctor said everything was coming along great and with my due date the next day. Aug 10th, she wanted to plan ahead and schedule and induction for me for later in the week incase I didn't have the baby on my own. We scheduled my induction for Friday the 13th ( I know what some people are thinking, but good thing I am not supersticious! ) and went on with our day. I was off of work already that week so we just thought we would relax for the week and see what happens. Well, Tuesday came and went and so did Wednesday and Thursday! I sometime felt like I was having some contractions but later, feeling what they really feel like, realized I wasn't! So, we went in for our scheduled induction at 7:00 am on Friday Aug. 13th. They checked me in and did all they needed to do and started my pitocin arounf 8:30 a.m. By 10:30 I had progressed to being dialated to about a 5/6 and they decided to break my water. At about 12/12:30 I couldnt take the contractions so I had an epidural, which Nate had to step out for because he couldn't stand seeing the needle stuck into my back, and then by 6:30 I was dialated to a 10 and ready to push!! At 8:15, our beatiful baby girl came into the world!! Lauren Rose weighed in at 8 lbs 6 oz and was 20 & 1/2 inches long and as healthy as can be!
