Well, Justina had her 39th week appointment on May 27th and was 3-4cm. She had her "membranes swept" which apparently starts up labor for ~2/3 of women within 2-3 days...Justina started having strong contractions within 10hrs. The next day she wanted to be brought into the hospital again. After arriving at nearly 1pm, she was found to be a little more dialated. They decided to go on ahead and break the water sac and speed up the labor. That made Justina so happy. It was eventually done at ~5p and it worked! She started having painful contractions with only a few minutes rest inbetween. The anesthesiologist got the epidural+spinal in around 600p. That made Justina comfortable again. Around 7p they checked Justina and decided it was time to push. About 7:20p we had a baby girl! We just cant agree on a name yet! Justina's mother was also present nearly the whole labor.
Justina was able to feed the baby twice before she took a multi-hour nap. I ran home about 830p and picked up the boys where our neighbor Shannon graciously took care of them that evening. Eventually Justina's mother Patti took them home for bed and school in the morning. Since then, we've enjoyed our baby girl. We're back to the diaper changing and spit-up cleaning routine again! The plan is to leave this evening (24hrs post delivery).
