The Story: (because I know that you are just dying to know!) Just like another typical day in our lives. We woke up and headed to work, neither one of us planning that Friday would be "the day." Sarah had a busy day of patients at work. Sarah had started working with her first patient of the day - a person with bilateral knee replacements. Thirty minutes or so into the session, Sarah decided it would be a perfect time to bend those knees herself. And then, all of sudden, as she was squatting to bend on the knees, her water broke! Not the huge gushing break like in the movies, but definitely more than just a trinkle! Sarah then went and called Jonathan, who was busy at work, and said, "I think you need to come get me ... we are going to have a baby!" Everyone one at Sarah's work was so excited and thrilled that little Andrew was on the way. Her patient was even thrilled!
Labor and Delivery: Sarah had planned to go all natural with the whole labor. She required a pitocin drip to help induce labor. (her water had broken, but no contractions) She did great for a bit, but then she developed back labor (and it is VERY painful!) and opted to get an epidural to relieve the pain. Pitocin started at 11:00ish am. Epidural at 5:30ish pm. Fully dilated at 9:45pm and began pushing at 10:00pm. And Andrew Caleb Stonecipher was born at 10:30pm. Both Sarah and Andrew did great with the delivery!
