New Mommy Slacker - Ethan's Birth Story

I know, I know. I have been very very very bad at updating this blog. I guess being a new Mommy has taken over my life. As promised, here is (a short version of) Ethan's birth story!

May 5th 2:00pm - Mommy has officially accepted Ethan will not be coming early. Decides to bake cookies and do laundry.
May 5th 3:00pm - Finishes cookies and turns oven off. Lays on couch to watch some tv and wait for nothing to happen. Mommy then thinks she has lost all bladder control and peed herself. Realizes that is a lot of pee and thinks "Oh! I think my water broke!"
May 5th 3:05pm - Mommy calls Daddy and tells him Ethan is making his arrival and let's get this show on the road!
May 5th 4:30pm - After a quick visit to the Doctor's office to confirm water has definitely broken, Mommy and Daddy check in to the hospital. Mommy is hooked up to monitors and pitocin is started due to Mommy's contractions never starting on their own.
May 5th (Around 6:30pm) - Mommy has had enough of this contraction stuff and requests epidural.
May 5th 45 mins later - After 3 attempts to get epidural into Mommy's back, she finally gets some relief and wants to marry Anesthesiologist.
May 5th Around 11pm? - (Timing is now fuzzy for Mommy at this point.) Mommy begins pushing. This takes a lot longer and is a lot harder then she thought.
May 6th 2:32am - Ethan Jacob Dabbeekeh is born!! (Yes - there was a lot that happened between the start of pushing and Ethan's arrival, but it all kind of mushes together 7 weeks out.)
May 6th 2:33am - Mommy cannot believe she just did that. Daddy cannot believe Mommy just did that and they both survived it!!!

Mommy right after Ethan was born!! Still in shock!!!
