Started having contractions at 5:30 this morning came to the hospital at 1:30pm I was over 4cm and 100% effaced and (-1) had my epidural at 3pm it's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED because these contractions were taking me down!! Had 4 days left but my son decided he was going to make his appearance on his daddy's Birthday!! So happy!! I will be a mommy today!! So blessed!! So happy!!
