Hey guys, I would say Andrew had a pretty good Idea of what was going to happen!

She was an Outpatient Induction. We went in at Midnight for Cervidil (which softens the cervix and helps promote regular contraction). Well!! By 4 it was working wonders and by 7 AM we went back to the hospital. Admitted by 8AM at 3 CM dilated, they ruptured her at 10. Epidural at 10:30 while she was still 3CM. By the time the cervidil was out and the epidural was in, it was 11:15 and she was 10 CM!!!!! She was so tired and the "happydural" worked so well, she fell asleep for 2 hours. Woke up at 1 and baby was out at 2:06.

Have to say my girlfriend looked like a PRO on that day. Many first time moms struggle with all the things she did soooo well. Breathing through contractions and pushing....she made it all look easy. 6 hour labors are to die for first time moms. As the father, the baby was out before I knew it.

Doc said she was meant to have babies that's how well she did! I am so proud of her

Its was an amazing day, not to mention exhausting, but I am sure I will have many of those days to come!!

Thanks for all the supports OG!!! Your support was truly appreciated

Congrats Matt, but in future, can't you spare some of the details? I don't need to hear about things rupturing.

Ha! When we did our pre-natal class the nurse started explaining what an episiotomy was and one of the dads fainted. That was by far the best moment of that class.
