meet emmett

out of all three boys, this birth was by far my favorite.  emmett came really fast and the recovery from him was by far the best.  i went into the hospital around 5:30, got put on a small dose of potassium at 6:00, my doctor broke my water around 9:00 and he was here at 10:22.  easy right?... well after the fact it was easy and great, however if you ask kevin, it did not look easy according to him.  i had a bit of freak out wanting the epidural between the water breaking and the time he actually came.  i had NO idea he was so close to coming, and on top of that since i was on potassium and got my water broke by the doctor, the contractions were a lot more intense.  i then quickly realized i had no time for the epidural.  the last twenty minutes i couldn't even talk, or even tell kevin that i was close to coming.  i sat there in a complete daze, breathing through the extremely painful contractions, trying to tell myself they were not painful.  by the time the baby was actually coming, i made myself finally talk and told kevin to get the nurses in here, the baby was coming.  he didnt believe me and politely asked them to come.  thats when i called the nurses (my doctor was not there), may have screamed a little too loud, and minutes later emmett michael allphin was born.
