Castor Oil does work....

Saturday nite I decided that I needed to free the baby from my womb, I couldn't eat sleep or do anything else that didn't feel like I was dying.
So I took a big gulp of castor oil with a warm coke chaser, yuck!
At ten I started to get contractions, I was laying on my side so I kinda ignored it. But when I started to stand up and get them I started to get concerned by eleven I was sure I needed to have it checked out by a pro and we got ready and headed out. By the time I was dressed and stuff was in the car, the contractions were getting very uncomfortable. Before I'd let us leave I had to walk off a contraction around the car. We parked in the wrong place at the hospitial and then we made it inside I was at the desk at midnight and ready to check in. By the time I got into the room, I was in agony. It didn't take long before I was begging for an epidural and somebody was having a c-section so I didn't get priority for that. So they waited a while, while I'm screaming to give me some weak iv meds which did not work. I waited over an hour screaming and breathing for the epidural. I was crazy with pain, I just kept screaming and begging.
By the time the epidural came I was unable to be coherent, I was also bleeding but I don't think we ever figured out what that meant. I had the nurse hold me up while the needle went in. As soon as that took effect I was fine.
I have no idea how long it was but for a while I got comfortable and they broke my water. I told the nurse I felt no pain and very little pressure so if they wanted me to push I'd be happy to do so. She seemed surprised. So the doctor came in and three pushes and he was out.

So basically it was a great quick labor, I could have done it quicker with a speeder epidural but whatever now.

So A is beautiful, looks like my ex which he jokenly said he didn't. Whatever.

I've been home for a day and I'm exhausted and still trying in vain to sleep. The first night was okay, no sleep lots of baby awakeness. Also having a two year old awake at various times of the night was no help.

I'll join the world tomorrow, maybe.
