For those interested in reading about my labor...On Friday, March 12th, I went into the hospital to be induced at 1 pm and got settled in a room by 2 pm. The doctor broke my water and started me on pitocin at 3 pm. Contractions began right away and were progressing pretty fast. Knowing how fast Reese came I wasn't too surprised. Pain started getting bad around 4:30 pm so I got an epidural at 5 pm. After that it was smooth sailing! My favorite part was watching the screen monitoring my contractions and thinking, "whoa that one would have hurt!" (hurray for epidurals)! I started pushing about 6:55 pm and Collin was born at 7:15 pm. He came out blinking and crying. He weighed in at 7 lbs 7 oz and measured 19.5 inches long. I'm VERY glad it's over, however overall it was a much better experience than the first time around. And now I am sooooo grateful to have my body back!!! I can finally sleep on my back, shave my legs, hold Reese on my lap, and sit in the car without the seat reclined so far back I can hardly reach the steering wheel! HURRAY!

Putting it that way, I'd be glad to have my body back too! I'm glad it was a better experience.
I am so jealous that you are done! I am just getting into the uncomfortable stage where things get more difficult. Congrats and I am glad your labor wasn't too bad.
I can't imagine what women did before epidurals...other than scream a lot =)
