So these are just a few of my favorite pics we have so far! Our little baby boy is already a week and a half old! So crazy how fast time is going by already! Part of me really wants the next while to go by fast just because of how I am feeling and would like to feel normal again. But the other part of me wants him to stay little for as long as he can! He is such a great baby! He has already learned that if he cries we will pick him up as he stops crying almost instantly! He has a hard time sleeping at night as do we! Can't wait until that ends!
I have been told I need to tell his birth story. But I can honestly say there isn't too much to tell! But here it goes...
On the morning of October 8th we waited anxiously to get a call from the hospital to tell us when to come in so I could be induced. My doctor thought it would be good for me to just go ahead and be induced as I had high blood pressure for the last month of my pregnancy. So at 9am we got our call to come in and start the wonderful process! Luke bought a new camera and decided to film throughout the day...of course! I was so nervous! It's one thing to go into labor naturally, but knowing when it's going to happen is another! Although I still don't know what it is like to go naturally. Anyway...so basically once we got in our room and answered the million questions the nurse had to ask and put the IV in(worst part ever!!! had to stick me 3 times! not fun!) it was about 11am. With the petocin(sp) my contractions started basically right away. Luke decided to go lunch with his dad about noon and wasn't back until 1:30, I couldn't get the epideral without him there and found out I wasn't going to be able to get it until 3 as the guy was in a c section until then! By 3 I was in quite a bit of pain! Amazing how hurtful those little suckers are! So basically as soon as I got the epideral everything was great! The day actually went by pretty quickly even though all I could do is lay there and do nothing! So around 7 I hadn't progressed much, when I came in I was at a 2, when it was around 7 I was at a 4. My doctor said he would give it another hour, but if nothing had happened in that time we would really have to thing about getting a csection. At that point I just wanted the day to be over, I wasn't really nervous about it, I think Luke was way more nervous then I was! I hadn't progressed at all, so he went in detail about the csection and how everything would work. It wasn't an emergency csection, but they did get everything started pretty fast. We went in around 8:20, with all the medicine through the epideral I was pretty out of it. All I felt was a lot of tugging, I was getting pretty anxious about them starting, afraid I was going to feel them cutting me open! So I asked Luke when they were going to start, but because of the gas mask he couldn't understand me. So around 5 min later I said, "I wish they would just start!" Then the nurse came to Luke and told him to get his camera ready because they were about to pull his head out! I was shocked! Our nurse got some great pics of them pulling him out of me! He was born at 8:44 on October 8th weighing 7lbs 12.5oz and 20 inches long! So that is basically the story! We came home on Sunday the 11th. We love him more then anything! Can't imagine my life without him anymore! What did we do before he came to us? Right now he is laying beside me on the couch and he stinks! So I need to change his diaper now! I hope you all enjoyed reading about how he came into our lives!
