On the 12th of February I woke up to what I thought was my water braking, it was about 4:30 in the morning. I woke up John and told him I wanted to go to the hospital to get checked out. So we gathered up our things and went. Well after many hours of waiting and finally getting checked out we were told it was not my water and to go home. So a little disappointed but at the same time relieved since he was about 3 1/2 weeks early we went home. Well I continued to be leaking constantly and I really didn't think this was normal, so on the 14th I couldn't take it anymore. Around 10 a.m. I drove myself back to the hospital to get checked again and this time they had confirmed my suspicions and told me infact that it WAS my water!!! So they decided to go ahead and admit me and to induce my labor with pitocin to reduce the risk of any infections. So I called John and told him to bring my things and to call my relatives. They put me on pitocin around 11:00 am and around 7 pm I was in hard labor. I was wanting an epidural right then but they told me I had to wait some.. so around 10 pm they gave it to me .. finally and after that everything was fine. I was fully dialated soon after..so then the doctor came in and said it was time to push. It went fine and after about 4 or 5 really hard and long pushes my little angel baby was born. He weighed in at 6 lbs 10 oz and 19 inches long. No complications followed except for a little jaundice which went away after a few days. Now he is 6 months old and weighs 17 lbs and is a little over 24 inches long. He is my miracle!!!
