Thomas is here! Monday, February 7th, around 9:45pm I started feeling slight pains. By 10:15 I was having contractions 1-2 minutes apart and getting pretty painful. By 10:30 we realized we needed to get to the hospital! We called my friend and neighbor, Amy, who came to stay the night at the house with Isaac, and Walt and I rushed to get the hospital bag ready. We arrived at the hospital around 11:30pm. The epidural team came in and got me going on that, but it wasn't providing any relief at first. Turns out I was already dilated to a 10 and was told I'd be lucky to get any relief from the epidural since I progressed so fast before it could take effect. But thankfully the last 20 minutes or so it kicked in and I didn't feel a thing. The doctor even arrived just in time for me to push this little guy out, which took around 10 minutes (compared to 2 1/2 hours of pushing with Isaac). Yay! Everyone is doing great, and we're so happy to have little Tommy here!
Here is a link to a few pictures that a lady at the hospital took:
