SHES HERE :) and shes so beautiful, she looks just like her daddy. I never thought you could love something that you know nothing about! My labor was hard, and easy at the same time. I went in at 6 am and did the whole questionaire for the hospital about my pregnancy and all that jazz, then around 7:30 they started me on pitocin, which didnt really kick in until she bumped it up to 20. When I arrived I was at a 3, and pretty thin, so after the pitocin about 8:30-9:00 the doctor came in and broke my water which started harder contractions. I ended up getting the epidural, which DID NOT WORK! How frustrating, I was so against it and my mom talked me into it and the effin thing just made my legs and toes numb. Ah, oh well! They came in and gave me the epidural, and it just made my legs numb (like i said before) and they checked me again and I was at a 4. Harder contractions that were about 80 started, and since I got the epidural and was induced, I had to have a catheder, which hurt soooo bad=[  So here I lay in agonizing pain, about to effing die lol. That was all about 10:30-11. At noon, my contractions were up to 140-150 and I was grabbing jeffery and balling my eyes out because it hurt so bad. The nurse came back in about 12:30 and checked me and I was at a 6, and asked for stadol. She shot the stadol into my IV and within about 5 min I was mellowed out, and the pain eased up. I laid there, really doped up and drunk feeling lol, and I looked at Jeffery and I'm like I have to push and the nurse was like Ok, let me check you. When she did, she felt Alexis' head, she was already on her way out! lol. She was like your at a 10, go ahead and push. They didnt even have the L&D room ready, there was still other RN's and L&D nurses bringing in equipment for the doctor to deliver her! (they came and took my catheder out due to pain) I started pushing about 1:15, and pushed for 15 min max, and at 1:31 she was born :) I remember lookin down and seeing her head and asking Jeffery if he could see her and my  mom announcing that she had hair :) I had to have an episiotomy which is still painful, but better than ripping I suppose. She's so beautiful and healthy. She weighed 8 lbs 2 oz and was 21 inches long, and attached the the boob right away :) She's doing really good, with breastfeeding and everything. I was definately blessed with a little angel and Jeffery and I couldnt be happier. All her meconium has passed, and she tried to sleep all the way through the night already lol. We have to wake her up to feed her, little twirp :) I will post pictures later, its 7:15 am, and I better get some rest before she wakes up for her morning feeding :) Thanks for all the comments and messages asking how we were doing, and hoping I had a good and easy labor. It really was easy, and most deff WELL worth the wait, and pain :) I love her so much, and am the happiest I have ever been. I have finally reached a point in life, where I am content and everything is perfect. Its our 3rd night and 4th day together, and I love being a mom. I'm speechless and theres no way to describe it. I'm in love, and its not just love is a very undescribable feeling, and I wouldnt give it up for the world :) Thanks for all your support ladies :)
