he's HATCHING!!

I won't get into too many details but in short:

We are officially in Labor and Delivery Room 3!!

I was not able to get here pageant-style this go-round...my contractions hurt like the deadliest of all sins.

The epidural is hands down the most spectacular and necessary creation of all time.

I'm numb, numb, numb and have a self-administer button. That makes me feel professional but with a touch of drug addict on the side.

My Triage nurse was no good and hit a "valve" she called it while trying to put in the IV and she sprung a leak in my arm. Heinous. JR was not happy, neither was my arm. Evil thoughts started swirling in my mind.

I am comfortably at 4 cm, and the dr broke my water so CHEERS!!

Cheers to baby hatching, praying the rest goes smoothly and that our sweet tiny makes a safe and healthy arrival into this world...

We will keep you posted as he continues his hatching!

You are about to experience something so wonderful it truly cannot be put into words. Keeping you and yours in my prayers!
