On Monday October 18th, Jason and I checked into Labor and Delivery for my induction. Over all the experience was great and in many ways better than with John. I was more relaxed having a good idea of what to expect. We started around 8:30-9am, start to finish was 6 hours, two hours shorter than with John. I opted to get the epidural before my induction started, and I wont lie it was pretty painful. However, it did its job and I was pain free.
At 3pm, I was ready to push. I did a practice push with the nurse to see if I remembered what to do. I did not even get to do a full practice push, the nurse told me to stop and called down my doctor. I pushed two times and at 3:02pm Taylor Ann was born. My recovery has been great, much better than with John.
On Saturday we headed home, John LOVES his sister. He loves giving her kisses and holding her. He does not mind when she cries and is doing really well with playing solo for a while when I need to feed Taylor.
Jason and I before we get started.
