Family of 4

She's here and we're home! We went in Saturday morning at 5:00a.m. Rob and I didn't bring any magazines, books, movies, etc because for some reason we thought this would be fast (I have no idea where we got that idea!) I got started on the pitocin at 6:30, and by noon I was only dilated to about a 4 or so. The Dr. broke my water and I finally got an epidural then as well. (The contractions weren't too bad at that point, but I was ready to just rest without any pain!) The afternoon crept by SLOWLY, and I was dilating very SLOWLY! Rob and I got pretty bored. We decided to have Grandma bring Ava by so we could see her before visiting hours were over, because we figured Brooklyn wouldn't arrive by then. Of course as they were headed over I quickly dilated to a ten, had about 5 good pushes and out she came! My epidural had worn off a bit by then (Rob noticed it had been leaking out of the tube, so my bed was soaked with medicine and none of it was in me! Dangit!) So Ava and grandma got to see her soon afterward...and AVa wasn't too sure about all the wires hooked to mommy and her new sister. We spent the night in the hospital, and Brooklyn slept for 6 hours straight! But after a sleepless night of nurses, beeping, and other babies crying we headed home Sunday afternoon....
