4:00 Wake up to get ready to go to hospital
5:30 Arrive at hospital and check in
7:54 Start pitocin drip (delayed due to Doc forgetting to send in order :)
8:45 Doc broke her water
8:50 Contractions become more intense
10:48 Still stalled at 4 cm. Terra gives in and asks for pain meds while waiting on epidural
11:15 Terra is loopy and hates the pain meds. Ready for epidural, but anesthesiologist in an emergency surgery
11:20 Baby's heart rate drops sharply to 75
11:21 Nurses run in to monitor baby and mama
11:22 Heart rate stabilizes with Terra on her side
1:15 FINALLY epidural administered! Still at 4 cm
1:55 Baby and Mom's heart rate continue to stay stable
2:15 8 cm! Nurse says baby will be here soon
2:25 Already at 10 cm!!!
2:30 Pushing begins
2:41 Baby is crowning and has hair!
3:10 Doc walks in and tells Terra to stop pushing so he can deliver baby instead of nurse!
3:16 Doc says 1 more push and baby will be here!
3:17 Baby arrives and Doc tells me to take a look and tell mom. I tell her "IT'S A BOY!!!"
3:18 Terra holds baby Jack for the first time
3:25 I tell family that "Jack is here!"

So glad you wrote this down for his baby book! It's amazing how fast you can forget little details like this! What a challenging & special day at the same time! :) Way to go Terra!
