Update 2:00pm: April here! My gorgeous sister is 7 cm!!!! We're gettin' this party started!!! We'll update again soon, maybe he'll be here!
Update 11:45am: My contractions only intensified since my last post. I toughed it out until about 10:30am when I got my epidural. And let me just tell you, the epidural was NOTHING!!! It felt like a little ant bite and that was it! I was so scared about the epidural that I was putting off getting it. Next time, I'll be getting that sucker first thing! I'm feeling gooood now! I'm 2 1/4 cm now. Woot woot!
Today's the big day!!
Warning: I am not going to hold back any of the details of today. I love hearing everybody else's labor details and I want to remember everything that happens today. So if you don't want to hear about my bodily functions, please read no further!
So I've been having some pretty strong contractions since yesterday. Last night, I started to lose my mucous plug. And this morning, the rest of it came out. That was probably the most disgusting thing I've ever seen yall!
Anyway, we got to the hospital around 5:40am this morning. I've gotten a bag of fluids and my nurse, Kacie, started my pitocin on the lowest level. Before she started the pitocin, I was already contracting strongly....like off the paper! I'm a "loose" 1 cm, 80% effaced and Noah is really low at 0 station!
I was really worried about getting the iv because it hurt so bad the last time I got one. But my nurse gave me some numbing medicine so it didn't hurt at all!
My doctor just came in and broke my water! He said that I was 1.5 cm now. And as soon as he broke my water, my contractions immediately started hurting big time!
I'll update as I can!

OMG, Good luck Allison!!!! Your labor story is sounding similar to mine so far. I was so nervous about the epidural too but next to the contractions, it was nothing!!! It was the easiest, best thing about my whole labor. Hang in there, your little baby will be here soon!

It is funny how worried people get about the epidural. When you're having contractions, you're right, the epidural is a piece of cake!
