In honor of Labor Day, here is a meme from Rocks in My Dryer...
How long were your labors?
Emilie: 26 hours
Landon: 17 hours
Here's hoping if I ever am blessed with another child that the trend of shorter labors continues...
How did you know you were in labor?
Contractions started, and got closer together.
Where did you deliver?
In the hospital with both of them. I have to admit that the hospital I delivered Emilie at, in Ohio, was much nicer than the one I had Landon in here in PA.
Drugs?
You bet your bottom dollar. I went as long as I could with both of them, and then happily got the epidural. Thank God for wise people who developed those. With Landon, I had it twice...the first time it only numbed half of my body. Grrr. And no, half is NOT better than none at all.
C-section?
No, and I am so glad. I REALLY did not want one.
Who delivered?
The doctor. I liked Emilie's doctor much more than Landon's, but no matter, they both got here safely.

My labors got shorter with each baby, but God has a terrific sense of humor... so each baby weighed a pound more than the last! Blessings, ~Whitney
