Wyatt Justin Lefler was born on Thursday December 15th at 4:35am. He weighed 8lbs 2oz and was 21in long. My due date came and went and I went in to see my Dr wednesday morning to discuss a date to be induced. My Dr had me scheduled for the following tuesday to be induced because that was the first opening the hospital had so I could have my Dr deliver. I did not really want to go that much longer but what else can you do?! Well while I was there he checked to see how far I was dilated which I was still about a 3 and he went ahead and scratched my membrane in hopes that it would put me into labor. Well sure enough that night around 5:00 I started having contractions. They weren't very strong and not very consistent but as the night went on that sure changed. Justin got home from work just after 6 and we spent the next few hours tracking contractions and watching Survivor. By the time we watched Survivor and Criminal Minds I was ready to go to the hospital. My contractions were pretty strong and about 3-5 minutes apart. So we headed to the hospital around 10:00. They took us straight up to labor and delivery put me in the triage room long enough to check to see that I was dilated to a 5 almost 6. They got us in a delivery room and then we waited, and waited for what seemed like forever to get my epidural! Realistically it was only a couple of hours from the time we got to the hospital but to me it was a LONG time! After I got my wonderful epidural they checked me again and I was about an 8 almost 9 but the weird thing was that my water hadn't broken yet. So they called my Dr and he came in and broke my water and pretty much right after I was to a +2 and ready to push. So I started pushing and pushing for about an hour and a half and he was born at 4:35am. Overall it was a fairly good labor and delivery especially with it being my first. I was so grateful that I was able to do everything on my own and didn't need any extra drugs or what not to put me into labor. We have definitely had some adjusting to do being parents now but I wouldn't change a single thing. I love my sweet little man so much and it grows everyday. I'm so grateful for the little family that I have!
