He is here!

So induction was schedule for Sat morning, when I got up Sat I started to have my bloody show, so I knew I was getting close on my own. We got to the hospital at 6:30 Saturday morning, they didn't want to start me up til after shift change at 7 so I sat around from 6:30 until 8 when they started the pitocin.

My dr. came in at 8:45 and I was a "good" 2cm and 90+% effaced. At that time she broke my water... can we say ewwwww. Def felt like I was peeing myself. As soon as my water was broken I started feeling the contractions A LOT better.

I was checked again at 10 and at that time i was up to 4cm and completely effaced, I asked for staidol (sp?) at this time to take the edge off the ctx because they were getting really intense and only about 1-2 min apart and lasting 1 min. That helped a lot but wore off after 1 hour and they wouldnt give me any more for 2 more hours, so I had them check me at 11:45 to see if there was any change to see if I could make it without an epi. Well when she checked me I was only at 4.5cm so I had barely changed in 2 hours so I knew I wouldn't be able to make it without some more drugs, and since they wouldnt give me anything else I got the epi.
The anesthesiologist did a great job as I could still feel the contractions and my legs werent numb and when it came time to push I easily felt the pressure.

So I got the epi at about 12 when I was 4.5cm, they checked me again at 1:20 and I was 9.5cm! So 5cm in about 1.5hours, if I would have known it would go that fast I might not have gotten the epi.

I started pushing at 2:15 and at 3:04 he entered the world with a HUGE cone head! He was 6lb 3oz and 19in long. A full lb less than what the dr. thought he would be.

I had a post pardum hemorrhage and lost A LOT of blood so I had to have a blood transfusion yesterday, besides that I have been feeling great. We came home today, if it werent for the hemorrhage I would have been able to come home yesterday.


Here are some pics, we have tons of them and its hard to pick my favorites!
