What a beautiful day!
It turned out being nothing like I had anticipated but if I had it to do again, I wouldn't want it any other way. With how fast the last two labor/deliveries went we were thinking it was going to happen faster than it did but all in all it was a wonderful experience, I enjoyed it and it was a long (for me) as it was for my support team in the room!
We got there at 7am. The first thing I had done was had blood drawn. That had to be back before I could get the epidural. I'm not exactly what time I got that, but once I had that done, I was able to have the petocin and IV started and then at 11:10am they broke my water.
My mom was with me the entire time!
Ben learned when and how often my contractions were coming and how intense they were. Me, I felt nothing.
My girlfriend Melody was also with me. She has two kids and one of them happened by being induced so she knew what was happening and what to expect. She was also there to take pictures. We have some incredible pictures from the day, all thanks to her!
This was funny. Ben really wanted Ariana's middle name to be Belle...
I really wanted her middle name to be Grace. What we went with (day 2) was Reese. Ariana Reese Yarrington! It's perfect!
Ben being silly. I really wanted to enjoy this delivery and wanted to watch everything as it was happening. I got my wish and it helped me focus on what I needed to do.
At this point, it's go time! Ben suddenly got HOT and had to take his sweatshirt off.
I thank all of them for staying with me, guiding me and loving me the entire way through till we got to meet Ariana!
