Hello Blog World it's Aunt Lauren here. (In case you can't tell by the fact words are spelled correctly:) Maddie has been here since 9:00 and is already dilated to a 5!!! Needless to say it took me 12 LONG hours to get to a 5. She was ADAMANT not to have an epidural until she was at a 5 or a 6. When the doctor came in and started "digging around" down there she was starting to have some pain, BUT stubborn Maddie said not yet. So they gave her a shot in her IV of something they called a "tequila cocktail". Unfortunately i missed this BUT, I have some great stories!
She was in the middle of a sentence and looked at Jared and said, "Why does your face look like a trellis?" Then her right eye closed and she said, "What is going on, why is only one eye working?" Then she promptly feel fast asleep.
I walked in an hour later and she said "shhh your voice is loud." Then the nurse walked in and said, "Can i give you your epidural now?" and Maddie said, "No, i am not in pain." So Jared convinced her that her shot was going to be worn off in 20 minutes and she was going to be in a lot of pain. All she said was, "Oh alright."
So they gave her the epidural and she has "sobered up" a little. Now she is trying to convince anyone who walks in to sneak her a snack.
We are watching Ellen and Britney's day of fun. The whole family is here except for Kevin who is driving in. He has already used the "My sister is in labor" excuse twice so he had to go to class but is on his way.
Just had a BIG contraction and a red Popsicle. Check ya' later.
