My labor stories from the boys are completely different. I was in labor with Matthew for 36 torturous hours, stuck in bed, strapped to a monitor with pitocin, nubane, more pitocin, more nubane and an epidural. The recovery was pretty easy, though.
Steven's labor was easier even though it was back labor. I could walk around, I progressed quickly and needed no drugs. After an hour and a half of pushing with no results, I had to have a c-section (lucky thing, too because the cord was around his neck and he was HUGE!).
The recovery from a c-section is much longer. I was in bed for 24 hours with an I.V., pulse oximeter, a catheter and a blood pressure cuff that turned on every 15 minutes. NOT very conducive to sleep.

sounds like a Payu2blog story to me!
OK, first of all - how is this supposed to make me want to get pregnant in the next year or so???
Second - have you fared ok with all the flooding up there? That pesky tropical storm started here with us and ended up there.
All my labors were different, but quick. I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I actually had the last 3 induced. Caleb because he was late, and the girls were induced because I didn't want to have my babies while driving in the car to the hospital.
How are you guys doing with the flooding?
Labour stories . . . oh my! Here I am a few months away from having another one to tell. :0) I've been pretty bad at catching up with blogs for a while now. I haven't gotten around to everyone like I want. I'll have to take time to catch up later tonight or this weekend. :0)
