Libby's arrival :)

**Libby's arrival**


My water broke at 1:30 am on January 20th. Chad and I were freaking out since we weren't expecting it at all. I finished getting my stuff ready, showered and then we headed to the hospital. We were checked in by 3 am and my mom came and met us there. I didn't have any contractions so they started me on Pitocin and by 9:30 am i was dilated to a 2 and I was at a 2 forever! Me, chad, my mom, sisters and sarah were hanging out in the room watching a He's Just Not That Into You and taking naps. I was feeling so great except that I was STARVING!!! I have never been so hungry in my life....I wasn't able to eat anything all day...only ice chips :(
By 3pm I was at dilated to a 5 and by 4pm I was dilated to a 9 and all of a sudden I was at a 10 and my nurse called Dr. Terry to come in and by 5pm I was starting to push.

Seriously the most amazing experience in my life!
checked into the delivery room-9 months
