So we decided to go ahead and get induced on Tuesday night. We called at 6 pm and they said they had room so we checked in at 7 pm. Well I checked in cause we were out for dinner and Ryan still had to take the kids to our friends house to stay the night so he dropped me off...Kind of funny like I was doing it without him, I really missed him and the kids the whole time but Ryan was able to come be with me about 2 hours later once the kids settled in and he snuck out! So I got started with a pill put on my cervix called cytotek and it goy my contractions going in about 2 hours. Then they started to get worse so the nurse decided to do the epidural before it got too bad and that was nice! Then my contractions slowed down so we started the pitocin and they got me really going about 5:30 Wed. morning and I still was only a 4 and 75% effaced. Then the dr. broke my water at 7:30am and when the nurse checked me at 8:45 I was ready to push so by the time they got everything together it was about 9:05 and she was out at 9:20am. She was 7 lbs. 7 oz. 20 inches long and has dark hair and blue/gray eyes. She is a great eater and sleeper!
So the hospital that day and night was ridiculous! I was the first of 4 births in the 9am hour Wednesday morning and it only got worse from there so they put me in a room where there was already someone in but it had two beds, only one bathroom...But she checked out about 3 hours later so I told Ryan I was going to convince my dr. and Reese's dr. to let us go early and it worked! The pediatrician was very hesitant but since she is our 3rd and I promised to take her into the office the next day he let us! So we stayed 12 hours and 20 minutes after she was born and we got to come home after we picked me up some drugs! It was nice to be home with the kids and in my OWN bed! I slept so well! But right before we left they put another couple in that room and all I can say is I am grateful to my dr. and the pediatrician for letting us go! The nurses also said there were only 2 beds left in post partum and 4 women in labor and 2 sets of twins were just born so I wish all those women luck in the hospital!
So we are home and adjusting and Reese is doing awesome and we have a great friend down the street that has taken Cooper most of today and spoiled him! Chloe loves her sister and is trying to learn how to say Reese! Cooper loves to hold her and talks to her about when she gets bigger and all the things she will do with him and Chloe!
