So, today is my actual due date, but luckily Riley came early (always early, just like his Daddy)! Starting having contractions around 7pm on Sunday, March 22nd. By the time we got to the hospital around midnight, I was 4cm dilated and almost fully effaced. The contractions were so freakin' unbearable at that point...my whole body was shaking! They gave me the epidural within the first hour I was there. It was totally stressin' me out that I could not feel my legs at all. And I could see my gigantic feet, but I could not move them.
After that, I dilated about 1 cm per hour, and I was at 10cm at 10am. Started pushing at 10:15 am, and Riley was born at 11:02 am. Such a cool experience. I wasn't sure I wanted to see what was going on, but they brought in a mirror and it really was the coolest thing to see my child being born! I'm totally biased, but he's so handsome!
He makes the cutest sound after he sneezes that I've tried to capture on my camara, but I'm always too late. I'll keep trying.
