On Monday night (May 23) Kenneth and I were scheduled to be at CRMC by 10:00 to be induced for labor. I was 39 weeks exactly when we went in to have baby Charlee Kathryn.
That night I was wide awake anticipating the arrival of our daughter. The nurse even had to come in by 5:00 am to give me medicine to help me sleep. I later found out what she gave me was 6x's stronger than morphine.
At 8:00am the next morning I was given the epidural. Things progressed well until 2:00pm when I was able to feel the contractions and move by legs because the epidural was beginning to wear off. I got really nervous and was also put on oxygen at the time. However by 2:05 and another shot of pain medicine I was ready to push. After only 5 pushes and 9 minutes later we welcomed our precious Charlee into the world! Our lives were forever changed at that moment, and we are so blessed to have such a perfect little girl.

Keep it up. You will love having this a year or two from now when you have another baby or two on the way and can't remember anything.
