Welcome little one!

How Ellie came into this world, C-section! OK, So Ellie was born at 7lbs 13oz, was 20 inches long and was born at 3:58 pm on June 25th, 2010.

My story, I went to the hospital on June 24th at 8pm to get induced since i was already 5 days late. At 9pm they started induction, by 1:00 am I was begging for an epidural, by 6:45 am, my doctor broke my water. I was moving right along until my body stopped at 7cm! Well around 12-ish (time starts to get fuzzy) My epidural ran out, they went to call the epidural guy, and he was in a surgery, so I ended up waiting over an hour for him to come in and re-boot me, of course my contractions were pretty painful. I was having Trent rub my back, apparently he was putting his whole body into it even though I couldn't tell if he was even touching me. ouch times a million! When I finally got on top of my pain, by clicking the little button every 5 minutes to give me more juice, but then it stopped for a while cause the machine didn't want me to overdose myself. It ran out again, so they called the guy back, but again, he was in another surgery, so I had to wait over an hour again. I cant begin to describe the pain, so I wont even try. (Any ladies reading this who have not had children yet, don't worry, everyone is different, you will not have the same experience!) Well the epidural guy ended up redoing the needle in my back, to get it working from another direction, by this time, my doctor decided to do a C-section, because I was still stuck at 7cm and it is around 3-ish now. So now I get some shots that work tons faster and now no pain at all! Yes! Well they have too now since they are cutting into me! Well they get me ready for the surgery, and I'm pretty much passing out cause I'm exhausted! I was told during the surgery, I started snoring, the doctor stops for a second looks over and says "Is she snoring? Well I guess she is all right then!" and the nurses chuckle. ....to be continued.....
