10am.......... Dr. Lloyd breaks my water. This is my first time being induced and I am surprised that we just get right to it.
10:20am..... I start on pitocin
12pm......... I am only dilated to a 3cm. Robert is working on his computer. I'm watching Downton Abbey on my ipad
1pm........... Epidural
1:30pm...... I am at 6 cm when the nurse checks me. 20 minutes later I am ringing the nurse button because I feel strong contractions and pressure and sure enough baby was ready.
2:08pm..... Jeffrey arrives. Robert is present and conscious- double bonus.
The nurse exclaims "It's a BOY!" Dr. says "Oh, I was going to hold him up and let them see for themselves. Nurse apologizes "Sorry, I just got so excited." We were all so excited. Well, I wasn't excited, I was crying and overwhelmed with joy (as I would have been with a girl). This baby is my true love.
