The story of Amelia!

So it all started Sunday morning at 9:00 am we went to the hospital for our induction. The IV was nice with only one stick but, after 5 min of trying to figure out why the fluids weren't flowing the nurse realized the clamp was still clamped. So we waited and waited for the contractions to start. There were a few but, not many and not consistent at all.

At about noon we started being suspicous about what was happening with me not reacting to the pitocin at all. We then decided we would break my water but, before that I went to the restroom coming back we noticed a puddle of water(pitocin) on the floor. The Pit wasn't even hooked into the IV. We then hooked it up and started seeing what we should have been seeing all along.

Shortly after we got a call from Anne who had the boys at church. She said she was outside and Porter was doubled over with pain and had thrown up. I remembered he swallowed a dime a couple days earlier. So she brought him to the ER to get x-rays to make sure it wasn't a blockage. For 3 hours we waited and had x-rays and came out with no explanation of why the pain episode and Porter feeling much better.

Now at 5:30 we could start my labor! Hooray, it was about that simple I got my epidurral, Lori broke my water and voila at 6:56 she was here! :) Now if that all could have just happened at 9:00 am but, everything happens for a reason! I'm really glad that Porter is okay! Now for pictures!

Here is me with my pregnant belly!
