My Milestones & Events
On July 29, 2014 at 40 weeks 2 days pregnant
Went Into Labour
My water broke at 1:15am when I was sound asleep. Luckily, I felt a pop and ran to the bathroom before it got everywhere. Since I didn't have contractions yet I took a shower, ate some breakfast, then headed to the hospital. Contractions started around 3am. I requested an epidural a couple hrs later and found out that I was already 8cm so I thought it was going to be a quick labor...boy was I wrong!! After 16hrs of labor 5hrs of pushing Evan couldn't get past my pelvic bone so I ended up having a C-section. He arrived into this world at 5:10pm...weighed 7lbs 10oz and 19 1/2 inches.

First Prenatal Appointment
We were disappointed to find out that our insurance only covers two ultrasounds the entire pregnancy (12 and 20 weeks). The NP (Paula) did a urine test, family history, and I went to Ellis to get blood work done.
