Usually Misora has been up and cranky between 2-5am but after feeding her at 130 she slept until 630 :) hope its not a one time thing

pushing 3 November 2, 2009

once her head started emerging it still took 30 mins to get her out、since she took such a long time emerging I was able to see her come out、her head reminded me of a hamburger. It took 4 hours to get her out and I could hardly move after

At that time we called a nurse back and I was allowed to start pushing. this was the hardest part. after pushing for 3 hours she still wasnt coming out and I was loosing energy. They switched me to my side to see if that would work which it did

 

Labor part 2 November 2, 2009

They checked me at 5cm and I went back to my room. Now I will say T was good in staying with me the whole time but we had to remind him not to move suddenly or talk while having a contraction and to get him not to let the nurses chat with me either.

around 630 I was taken to the labor room where I had to go it alone until the woman next door had her baby. from the time I went in to the time mom and T joined me I went from 7 to 8 cm. I kept fighting the urge to push until around 8
