Baby Boy

Wednesday October 12th-

6:00 am- got the call from the hospital that we were on hold again today and to wait for a phone call.

11:40 am- another phone call that we could come in. So we hurried before they could change their minds.

1:45- Pitocin finally started. I haven't seen the doctor covering me today yet.

6:00- The much needed epidural. Still no doctor.

10:00- Finally see the doctor. Get my water broken. Only 3 cm dilated. What?!

11:00- 4 cm dilated. My epidural has worn off. The anesthesiologist gives me a bolus, but it doesn't really do anything. Mama Mia!


October 13th

12:00 am- 6 cm dilated. The doctor will check again in 2 hours. "Get some rest!"...yeah right, epidural not working any more remember.

1:00- painful pressure with contractions. I can't imagine another hour of this until the doctor checks back on me. It feels like a bowling ball is about to rip through me. Luckily the nurse checks me and I'm ready to go!

8 pushes. I am grateful it's not three hours like Sawyer because honestly I want to give up and just then the staff tells me to stop pushing and blow my breaths out for a second, and I know that means he's about to come and I can make it! I am so glad this is the last time, because this is killing me!

1:24 am Baby Joshua Crew born...10 lbs 12 oz! He pee'd on the doctor--hee hee. He's a big boy and he's gorgeous.
