Colt Edwins birth soty

Mr Colt was a complete surprise, we had said we were done having babies then BAM, Dawn your eggo is preggo!!  He made is entrance into the word on Oct 10^th 2013! I had already been to the hospital like 5 times in the previous two weeks, and every time I was sent home! I even went to my appointment a few days before I had him and my doctor was like “no, you’re not having this baby till next week” I was so unsure if it was labor, even though my water had broken with Koop on its own, labor didn’t actually start till I was given Pitocin. The nurses kept trying to tell me oh it feels the same regardless if you have pit or not, lies they tell lies, because it really is not the same at all.  On the 9^th I went about my day as normal, Chris went to work, and took care of the kids just like any regular day. As the day went on I started to just get Uncomfortable and crapmy. Chris got off work at 6, and I told him I think I want to go in. so he went and picked up my friend Chelsea to watch the older two. From the time he got off to the time he arrived home with Chelsea I still was not convinced it was actually labor, even though the contractions where starting to come more frequent and where more painful. Me and Chris headed to the hospital, but first I had to stop for some ice for the 30 min drive. Even at the gas station I told my husband just to go home this couldn’t be labor, he said no we are going to go in. we got there and the nurse in triage said “watch I’m going to check you and you will be a 5” sure as shit she checked me and I was at a 5!! I could not believe it, was I actually in labor, my body after failing to know what to do with the first two was actually getting with the picture and I was in labor!  We got situated in the room and I called Candace my business partner and one of my best friend’s, she was going to try her hand at birth photography and photograph Colt’s grand entrance into the world! The whole labor and everything was a dream, it went so smooth. We got settled into the room, and I continued to progress. Pretty soon my water had broken on its own, and the contractions started to get more intense, and before I knew it I was a 7! That’s when I asked for the epidural, I warned the anesthesiologist that with my previous two births the epidural didn’t work on my right side, but you guessed it, it still didn’t work! But things moved so fast she didn’t have time to fix it! And yes I felt everything on my right side.  The nurses propped me up, and it was time for my practice pushes I warned the nurse, that I had my other kids out in a few pushes and with the first practice push he was almost crowning! She was all stop, stop your doctor is in the hall suiting up now! The doctor came in, and got right to business and with my next contraction I had his head out, half way through the contraction he said ok he’s crowning I said “I know I can feel it lets get this done” and with the next my baby was born and on my chest! Colt was born 10-10-13 at 4:21am and was 8lbs 14oz 21in long
