Tanner birth story (long sorry)

Well here is my birth story for our sweet "little" Tanner. I arrived at the hospital at 8pm to be induced. I got changed and everything and they checked me and I was already a 4 on the outside and a 5 on the inside and almost all the way effaced i think i was 90 percent so i was told i could have the epidural at anytime. I chose to wait until they broke my water. My pitocin (medicine that starts contractions) was started at 9pm. After our midwife came up and broke my water i asked for the epidural almost immediately the contractions got bad. The epi hurt going in this time alot more than it did with savannah and i could still move my legs and feel pressure and tightening with each contraction. I was progressing fairly quickly and had my mom come up with savannah when i reached an 8. When i got to an 8 i was 100 percent thinned out and a half hour later i was a 9 1/2. They called Kathy(midwife) and it took her 20 minutes to get there I guess during our labor a horrible storm came in and the roads were horrible. I felt the urge to push and i had to basically hold the baby in lol. When i had savannah i never felt anything so i couldn't push right but with tanner i knew right where to push if that makes sense. Kathy finally got there at 1:34. I pushed three times through one contraction and our little boy was out! it was amazing :) He was born at 1:38 only 4 minutes after the midwife came in! I opted for immediate skin to skin which was awesome and i swore he was smaller than savannah was and was shocked when they weighed him and told me we was 7lbs 10oz!! 20.5 inches long. Oh and he has red hair that i couldn't be more thrilled about. We are getting released from the hospital today new years eve at 9am. I can't sleep or stop holding this perfect little boy of ours :) We had savannah come in the room first before anyone else and it felt so good to know that both these kids are ours for eternity!Tanner scared savannah about 5 minutes later when he started to cry but it sounded more like a growl! It was sad and funny and the same time. I couldn't have asked for a better delivery experience what an awesome couple of days it has been even the lack of sleep i wouldn't change for the world.
