He has finally arrived! I went into the hospital Wednesday night around 9:00 because I thought my water had broken. They tested it but wanted me to walk around for an hour and test again to be sure. It was amniotic fluid, so I was admitted. I spent the night and the nurses came in to monitor me and Eli all through the night. I was having contractions about 4-5 minutes apart but they weren't real strong. The doctor came in early in the morning and decided to start pitocin to get my contractions going stronger. I had my epidural around 11:30 that was the best thing ever!! I couldn't feel my legs. It was the weirdest feeling. Anyway, my contractions got stronger and more painful throughout the day and I had to ask for more medicine once I couldn't stand the pain. Around 6:30, I pushed for an hour and Eli was born at 7:25 pm on September 11. He is just PERFECT!! We were released from the hospital on Sunday morning and I was so happy to be home with him. We are getting into somewhat of a routine. Mom is learning to get by on NO sleep! I love watching his facial expressions whether he is asleep or awake. I am posting a few pictures of Eli and I will post more as I have them!
