We came in Sunday night for Elena to be induced. We got here at about 9:30 pm. Just as they were about to give her the first medicine at 11:00, her water broke. They can't give the first medicine if your water has broken. So Elena happened to go into labor on the day she was scheduled to be induced. Elena was a real trooper, and wanted to go as long as possible without an epidural. She ended up with the epidural at about 4 o'clock in the morning when she was dilated to a 7. We then took a nap and woke up in the morning when her doctor came. He checked her and said, "Wow, she's at +2, and your fully dilated. Are you ready to start pushing?" We got ourselves gathered together (this is when I almost started to cry (TOJ, tears of joy) realizing that this was all about to happen. Elena was a GREAT pusher, probably from all of her working out. She says it's 'cause of her abs. 6 pushes and we had our little sweetheart. Here are more pictures, I'll try to put some videos up soon as well.
