Here is the story.
3/11/2011-36 week checkup. My doctor said I was dilated to a 4 and 100% effaced. She was freaking out because she was leaving on vacation for a week and she thought I would have the baby while she was gone. I was freaking out because Dustin was scheduled to go to Salt Lake for soccer games all day Tuesday and all day Wednesday. I told my doctor about Dustin leaving and asked what she thought. She said if he did go he would never make it back in time to see his son born.
3/14/2011-Went and saw the on-call doctor. He said I was still a 4 and doesn't think I will go more than a couple of days. He agreed with my doctor that if Dustin left and I went into labor he wouldn't make it back in time.
3/18/2011-Saw another on-call doctor and he said I was still a 4. Poor Dustin didn't go and nothing happened.
3/22/2011-37 week checkup. My doctor was back and she couldn't believe I did not have the baby while she was gone. She told me that before she left she went down to labor and delivery and told them that I would be coming in anytime. She told them she was sad she would not be there and to take good care of me since I am one of her favorites. That definitely made me feel loved. She said I was still dilated to a 4 and 100% effaced. She also said my water was bulging.
3/29/2011-38 week checkup. My doctor said I was now a 6. She scheduled me to be induced because she was afraid I wouldn't make it to the hospital if my water broke.
3/31/2011-Got the call at 5:30am that they were ready for me. We took the girls to my parents house and got to the hospital about 6:45am. I had a wonderful nurse and a cute student nurse who took multiple attempts to get my IV in. Not so pleasant. The other nurse then took over and got it on the first shot.
My doctor came and broke my water about 8:30am.
I got my epidural about 15 minutes later and the anesthesiologist was not my friend. It took him 3 tried to get it right.
About 9:56am the epidural didn't keep up with my body (that's what my doc said) and I thought I was going to DIE!!!
10:02am he was here
He weighed 8lbs. 12oz. and was 20 inches
First bath
I think his dad likes him
Getting ready to go home
