HARLEY PAIGE WASHBURN
Born August 31, 2009
12:00 p.m.
7 lbs 2 oz, 20 inWhat a great day that was!! We woke up bright and early: 3:30a.m. and got ready, got our stuff together & headed for the hospital. We got checked in for induction around 5 and got in our labor and delivery room. When they checked me in they said I was a 2 1/2 or 3 & 90%. I was having my own contractions for a little bit before they put me on the pitocin. They started the pitocin around 6. My doctor came a little after 8 and said I was a 3 1/2 and broke my water. Pretty much immediately I couldn't handle the pain. I got my epidural about 15-30 minutes after they broke my water. What a nice feeling when that kicked in!!! Then, I was feeling a TON of pressure and very uncomfortable. So, the nurse checked me around 10 and said "9 1/2 and 100%" WHOA! That was fast! She had me try a couple pushes and said I would probably have some pushing to do, and that she would get the stuff ready & let the doctor know. We also had to wait until 11 to do anything because I had to have 2 doses of penicilin for strep-b before I delivered. The nurse checked me again a little after 11 and had me try a couple more pushes & said OK...I'll call the doctor to come over. Doctor Messer arrived around 11:45, I started pushing around 11:50 and Harley Paige Washburn was born at NOON. She weighed 7 lbs 2 oz and was 20in. She is healthy & beautiful and we are SOOOOOO excited!! She is a great baby so far :) Thank you to those who came and saw us in the hospital, the messages, phone calls etc. We appreciate it!!

Sounds like everything went perfectly:) that's so awesome she came so quickly:) She is gorgeous! Can't wait to see her in person!
I had to have my water broken also and within seconds the intense pain came rushing and I couldn't handle it. I had to wait a couple hours to get my epidural though. It sucked. I'm glad you were quickly relieved and only had to push for...ten minutes?? That's amazing. I pushed for 2 hours! You're one lucky lady! She is super cute...looks just like a Washburn. Congrats!!!!
