On Monday night, I woke up at 4:30 am with my waters breaking, and we were able to be at the hospital by 5:15 am. Mum came with us, which was really sweet, considering she'd also only had about 4 hours of sleep. The nurses were great and I was hooked up to the monitors, IV etc and we settled in to wait. Since I was already 6 cm dilated when I got there, we were hoping it wouldn't be a long wait! Everything progressed well (including the contractions!), I got an epidural at 10 am (thank the Lord! I would not have wanted to continue without one!!) and by 11 am I was 10 cm dilated and ready for the hard work :)

Mum was knitting Jack a little sweater while we waited...she said it kept her nerves at bay!
