    "text": "The baby is born!!!\n\nRachel was in labor all weekend. Contractions were 10 minutes apart on Sunday evening and she couldn’t sleep. I woke up and decided she needed to go to the hospital. We get there and they are like “We will probably need to send you home” but then checked her and were like “Oh you’re 4cm dilated”\n\nWe get into the room and Anjie is with us the whole time, thank god. It was so great to have someone to tap to help out as I got exhausted later on. She cut the cord, which is something I just didn’t want to do.\n\nThe only thing that went wrong was Rachel’s first epidural was not properly installed and she was in intense pain for about an hour and a half before it got fixed. I got a little snippy but kept it together.\n\nRachel was in the delivery room over 12 hours but she only had to push for 24 minutes. The wonders of modern medicine and all the pelvic floor PT.\n\nWhen she came out, she was a quiet baby. The NICU fellow had to come down and do a bunch tests before skin on skin. It was the most scared that I was during the whole birth and I truly felt powerless. But, she kept squirming and it turns out that the combination of mom’s Zoloft and all the epidural drugs just made her sleepy.\n\nDuring skin on skin, she latched and got a little meal. All in all, pretty smooth delivery, tho it took a very long time.\n\nI finally fell asleep at 5am and it’s been pretty quiet so far.",
