Monday the 18th was our special day chosen to bring little Rylen into this world. At 8am I went for my first gel application only to have it repeated again at 2pm. By 8pm I was having mild contractions and was sent home with a shot of demerol. The contractions started to get stronger as the evening progressed and we decided to head off to the hospital at 1:30am Tuesday the 19th.
As we got to the second floor and came off the elevator I felt another contraction coming on and then all of a sudden I felt a POP! I started to giggle when I realized that my water had broken. Mom ran like lightening speed down the hallway to get help. A nurse arrived with a wheelchair and we headed on our way to where all the action would take place.
At 3am, realizing that this was not a false alarm we decided it was best to phone home and wake up Andrew so he wouldn't miss the action. It was a good job we did because by 4:30 I was 4cm dilated. As you know I'm always so impatient and wanting to get things done fast so 1hr later I was at 10cm to the shock of the doctor and nurses.
As there was no time to calm this wild woman with drugs I had no choice but to deal with what was about to come. 41minutes of hard pushing and little Rylen entered our world.
We couldnt be more happy and blessed to have such an amazing little one to begin our family.
