Amie woke up at about 4:30 a.m. on Friday with hard and very constant contractions. We were in the hospital by 5:30, as the contractions got a lot more painful. She asked about the epidural and at about 8:30 the anesthetist was able (after three tries) to help her out. At around 10:10 a.m. she began pushing our little one out, and although her epidural wore off* and she was in excellent pain, she did so very well. She only pushed for a little under ten minutes.


* I say wore off but we both think that they either forgot to give her an additional dose at the appropriate time, or they intentionally turned it off.
