Noah James Russell arrived July 6 at 4:19 pm, 7 lbs 10 oz. I started contracting at midnight on July 6, went to the hospital at 6 am with pretty painful contractions about 3-5 min. apart and then in triage they told me I was 3 cm and my contractions as I was laying down went to 7 min apart! I was very disappointed, Dr. told me to go walk to the halls for an hour. Contractions became more painful in that hour and about 5 min apart and the vomiting began 
, all I wanted was to be admited and to get the epidural. Epidural placed about 11:30 am, the best thing ever! And Noah was born about 5 hours later! This past week has been a blur and my husband and I have been very sleep deprived but becoming a mother has been the most amazing experience ever.
