I decided my story of how I had Lexi was way over due. On the day of Lexi's arrival I started to have contractions that weren't very painful early in the morning. I told Kyle before he left for school that morning that I thought today would be the day so for him to keep his cell phone on. I called the doctor a little after nine because the contractions were coming every 15 minutes, but weren't consistant. They told me to come in around 11:30am. They checked me and I was only dialted to a 5 but since my contractions were coming every 15 minutes or less they told me to check into the hospital. At around 2pm I still wasn't progressing but they didn't want to send me home because I tested postivie for strep b so they decided to induce me at around 5 pm. I must say this labor and delivery was completely different from Caseys. Casey's was much easier and with him I got dialated to a 7 without any pain. With Lexi on the other hand, more painful and my epidural wouldn't work at times. I felt bad for all of my visitors to see me in pain and I'm just glad that when I was dialted to a full 10 let me wait to push until they got the epidural working again. I pushed for an hour and at 10:00pm our Baby Lexi was born at 8 lbs 2 oz. When I went to my postpartum appointment they said they won't let me go past 39 weeks because of my size!!! Yay no more 40 week pregnancy's for me!! Although I'm pretty sure they were off about my due date and really Lexi was born 1 day before my original due date. All that hard work was well worth it!
This is what Lexi did the whole time while we were there....sleep
