In honor of Labor day and in participation with Rocks in my Dryer, I am sharing the best work I have ever done.

How long were your labors?
Kid #1, 36 hours (honest) I remind her of this often lol
Kid #2 14 hours
Kid #3 12 hours

How did you know you were in labor?
Kid #1, pain in tummy
Kid #2 labor was induced
Kid #3 cramps in my abs


Where did you deliver?
Kid #1 Air Force base where they made me do for myself, but she only cost $25
Kid #2 & Kid #3 hospital

Drugs?
Kid #1 NO DRUGS what-so-ever, thank God I was young (20)
Kid #2 no drugs till the last 2 hours then got an epidural, it was heaven
Kid #3 Yes lots of drugs

C-section?
Kid #1 & #2 no
Kid #3 YES the cord was wrapped around his neck twice

Who delivered?
Kid #1 1 doctor 2 trainees and about 20 other training doctors watched, it was lovely
Kid #2 Dr. Diamond, he was good but the numb doctor went MIA, so I felt the stitches
Kid #3 Dr. Tovar very good

After they put my baby in my arms I forgot ALL the pain! God is good!
