Heidi Antonia was born on 12/28/06!!! 
I woke up at 4 in the morning and had contraction every 10 minutes apart. First I didn't think that that's it, but when I noticed that they were regular and wouldn't go away and I thought ok that might be it. My husband woke up at 6 am and was complaining that I am already in labor for two hours and didn't wake him up. ;-)
I took a shower and had a quick breakfast and we head to the hospital. We got there about 8 am and they start hooking me up to the monitors to see if I am in real labor at this point I was dilated to about 3 cm and 80% effaced. They sent me out on the hallway to walk for 30 minutes, when they checked me again and sent me to walk another 30 minutes. By that time my contractions were about 3-5 minutes apart and pretty painful, wow!
I get back into the room and they hook me back up and I was lying there for 30 minutes before my nurse came back. She said that my Dr. is going to admit me and that I am going to have my baby today :7 . He also wanted me to walk another 30 minutes, but they were so busy that my nurse couldn't tell me right away and she saw that my contractions are very painful, so she didn't have me walk .
We were waiting for a room at labor and delivery, so she asked me if I wanted any pain medication because they can't give me my epidural before I get to labor and delivery. At this point, I said sure. Whatever they gave me didn't take the pain away, but man it didn't make me care at all anymore and it made me so sleepy all day long, I felt totally drugged up.
They finally got me moved to labor and delivery and I got my epidural, wow, it was wonderful. Within 30 minutes I dilated from a 6 to an 8 and to a 10 about an hour later. I had a couple blood pressure issues, but nothing severe.
I pushed for 1 hour and 15 minutes with 5 minute contraction and I had an episotomy and my baby girl was born at 7:38 am, 7 lbs. and 11 oz. and 19 inches long and absolutely healthy.
I spent the night in labor and delivery because they didn't had a room for me but I got moved the next day and finally a day after that I got to go home.
Breastfeeding is going great, she is eating like a champ.
She is absolutely adorable and I can't stop starring at her!!!
