On Thursday July 30 we went to the hospital to be induced (I was 3 days over due date). I checked in at 10 that morning and they got the juices going. I was doing great until about 2 when the contractions became erratic and I was very slowly progressing. At this point I questioned if I was going to be in labor for a few days! Luckily they gave me more juices and contractions began again. At midnight I finally was dilated to a 10. I pushed this monster-large child out of me in about 25 minutes. The nurses and doctor were surprised that Emmett could get out of me that quick. I know what your all thinking.....14 hours labor!!! It actually wasn't too bad because I had the epidural that afternoon and didn't feel anything except the last 5 minutes when pushing him out of me! With having an epidural it is still painful!!! I don't know how ANYONE can do it without an epidural if you do your a crazy lady.It has been a few days and I am doing pretty good. I have lots of soreness but luckily my mom is here to help. Thanks for all the love and support everyone has given us.

Congrats girl! I bet you are so happy he is finally here. I tried texting you a couple of times but never heard back from you. Call me so Nate and I can come by and visit you.
Finally! Some details! Way to go Jess, 14 hours is a long time for anything, especially labor. I hope you continue to recover well and that baby emmett is a good sleeper! What a fun pic with your sister and mom.
I'm so happy that part is finally over for you! I can't believe how much hair he has! So are you going to call him EJ? I like the name Emmett (and not just because of Twilight).Make sure you get plenty of sleep while your mom is here. I'll come see you guys soon!
