Chase Reeder

The big moment arrives...



I actually didn't know that  my water had broken.  It broke while I was at work.  I didn't go to the hospital until 3:30 a.m. on May 18.  I went there and they had told me that my water did break and that I was 2 cm dilated.  Hours upon hours went by and I still wasn't dilating any so they were talking about a c-section.  They gave me 2 more hours to dilate and they checked me then I was at 4 cm.  I stayed there until about 9:00 p.m. which then I was 9 cm.  And then just like that I had a major urge to push they checked and I was ready to go.  About 5-10 mins. later little Chase was born.
