IVs and hospital gowns

And then I had a baby.

That is the most crazy-talk sentence to ever exist.

Holy crappppp, I had a baby.

-----

We signed in at labor & delivery and got our wristbands before being led to our room. We met who would be our overnight nurse, Rachel. She gave me a lovely blue hospital gown, which was oh so flattering, that I covered with a thin robe.
We settled in for what we knew would be a long process.
I took little notes on my phone:
