With a week and half before her due date, Josiah and Lauren are making sure that they have everything that they need to go to the hospital. Lauren's contractions have been picking up. They head over to Lauren's family home to walk on the treadmill and stairs. The parents have invited Josiah's sister, Jill, to be part of the birth team. They head to the hospital at 5:45pm and find out that Lauren is 3cm dilated and 80% effaced. Lauren's birth team has Josiah, Michelle, Jill and Lauren's mom. When she gets to 6cm, the back labor is very intense, so she gets an epidural which was not on her plan. The first epidural doesn't work so the doctor gives her another one about two hour later.
Michelle says that she can sympathize with her daughter-in-love with the back labor because Michelle has had it before and it's uncomfortable. Her back labor is not gone so Lauren receives a drug to help her sleep. Ben and Jessa are putting together a care package for the new parents.
At the hospital, Lauren's labor has slow down and the doctor gives her Pitocin and reveals that she might need a C-section if things don't pick up. Before long, she is able to push and Bella arrives. Michelle reveals that it's a joy to her heart when she sees her son and Lauren holding baby Bella in her arms.
Lauren reveals that the greatest thing is to hold a child that you have been wanting ever since losing a baby. Jim Bob and Michelle arrive to help Josiah and Lauren to pack up.
Meanwhile Joseph and Kendra have settled in with Garrett and Addison. Addison is a week old and her brother has been a bit jealous but enjoys giving her baby kisses.
