He's so handsome! He is also very stubborned like both his mom and dad. So the story goes a lil something like this...
Tuesday June 23, 2009 we were scheduled to go in at 6 am to be induced into labor because of my up and down blood pressure and some raised proteins in my urine. They make you get up and call an hour before you are supposed to go in to make sure they have room for you so I did and they say oh wait until about 11 and call us again. So we were all amped up and we went out to breakfast! On the way back home the hospital called and said oh sorry but you are going to have to wait until tomorrow we are just to busy. So I hung up the phone and started crying very upset that Mike missed work and I was sooo ready to have the baby! About 30 seconds went by and my phone rang again..."How flexible are you?" Yep that's right they talked with my doctor who said "NO! She's having her baby today!" and asked me to be there at 1o! So we went and they induced me in the worst way possible. They inserted a balloon behind my cervix that was inflated with water and continuously pushed on my cervix (worse than a contraction because there is no break in between the pain) until I was dilated to 4, on top of that they gave me Petocin to start contractions. This was so painful it about brought me to my knees. This lasted until about 4 and I just was able to drift off to sleep to rest when the tornado sirens when off and they were rushing me out into the hallway away from the windows! That is where I remained for about an hour. By that point I had dilated to 4.5 and the balloon came out so I was having contractions (Ouch!) but feeling so much relief that I was happy! My parents came up to help with my coaching and to give Mikey a much needed break...that of course he didn't take! I walked up and down the halls trying to dilate farther but by 10 pm I had only gotten to 5. SO at that point they came in and pretty much told me that I was going to need a c - section if I didn't dialate any farther by 12am. So I got an epidural at that point so I could get some sleep. They woke us at 1 am, checked to see if I had dilated any farther, no, so they started prepping me for a c-section! This went really fast! It was really a strange sensation to be wheeled into another room, moved to a surgical table, see Mike come in and not recognize him because he was so covered up in gear, and hear my baby cry for the first time but not see him! Mike helped by watching and answering my questions like "Is it a boy?" Does he have hair?" 'Lots?" "Is it black?" Then he brought him over to me so I could get a quick peek before he took him out for the family to see and get weighed and measured. Next thing you know I am getting stitched up (weird feeling) and heading back to my room to hold my baby! He was so perfect! 10 fingers and 10 toes! 2 eyes, one nose, and 2 ears! By this time it was like 3 am and we were exhausted! By the time we got the first feeding outta they way and grandparents got to hold him it was 5 am and we were off to dream land! What a day! We spent the next 4 days in the hospital getting to know each other and me trying to figure out how to get around with this nice incision in my tummy! We have been home now for a while and our lil man is 2 weeks old today! If you scroll down there are lot's of pictures that I upload daily! :)
