| The Birth |
| 4/12/03, 8am, I was scheduled for an inducement and boy was I huge and more than ready. Upon arrival we discovered I was in early labor. They let me sit for a few hours to see the progress and it was slow, but virtually painless. Several hours later I went to the labor room and got an IV of patocin to increase the labor. It got a little more painful and i finally asked for the epidural. |
 |
| All the anesthesiologists were busy with emergency c sections so i got to wait about 5 hours. It got more and more painful!!! |
 |
| Close to midnight I finally got my epidural and as you can see, I was a very happy camper!! I even took an hour nap and I didnt know when I was having contractions until I saw it on the monitor. I pushed for 3 hours, but he wasnt coming out, so i was off for a c section. |
| He spent a few days in the nursery due to low blood sugar(above and right) Then he finally got to go home(below) |
| What a cutie!! |
