Birth story

The night before I had Sayler was just a normal everyday night. Greg and I stayed up late that night watching who knows what on tv, then laying in bed til late just talking about how excited we were about having our little girl in just a few short days. We had an inducement day planned for the following Monday morning...so of course that's how I expected everything to go down. Never in my wildest dreams did I think this girl was going to be making her debut any earlier than that. I woke up at 1:30 am thinking I was about to pee the bed...so I quickly sat up and just a gush went everywhere. And I thought "are you kidding me? Did I really just pee the bed?!" Greg kind of woke up enough to ask if I was okay, and I just mumbled yea I'm fine because I was so embarrassed I had just peed the bed! I ran to the bathroom and it just kept coming out...I was in shock and thought no way, my water did not break. Then I start kind of freaking out. I yelled for Greg and of course this is the one night he's actually in a dead sleep, never happens! So he's like what? What's going on? Are you sure.. So I call my mom, trying to get the words out through my panicked voice. And she's like yup! Your water just broke! We both were in shock. Greg jumps out of bed and gets dressed so fast and I wrap a towel around myself and we run out the door. We arrived at the hospital and they got me all hooked up and told me they'd start me on the pitocin at 4 and my doctor would be there at 8:30 in the morning. So I had a few hours to kill until then. We tried to sleep but that only worked for uh maybe 10 minutes before the contractions kicked in.. I'm so grateful for  an amazing doctor who said I could get the epidural pretty much when I wanted it. So I was almost a 3 and I got that bad boy! Best decision ever. I had no idea I wouldn't feel anything...I thought it just dulled the pain. So I was loving life. Once it was 4 they started me on the pitocin and I dilated to a 5 quickly after. I told Greg he should run home and grab a few of my things at this point while he had some time. He had been gone not even an hour and the nurse came in to check on me and was like oh wow, you're a 10. So I call Greg and I'm like hurry!! I'm a 10. Greg got there minutes later. :) Once the doctor made it there I started pushing and had our sweet girl 45 min later. Sayler was born at 11:34 am. I can not put in to words what an amazing experience this was to welcome such a beautiful girl into this world. And she was ours. Since we had two miscarriages before Sayler, I think it really made us appreciate this whole pregnancy and her coming into this world that much more! She's perfect. We love her so much and can't believe how much joy she brings into our lives. 

Sayler weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces and was 20 inches long.
