We have a new son- a beautiful son who is such a gift.
We are home from the hospital and so happy to be here.
Here is the birth story if you are interested in reading!
Like I said in my last post, my water broke Monday night. I got home and packed things up, sent Adam off, and decided to go on into the hospital. Sadly I wasn't very dilated when I got there so it started off a bit frustrating. I went through a while with no contractions. Aaron's heart rate was going kind of weird so they monitored that for a while. It ended up just fine.
I did some things to get my labor going myself and it worked very well. I don't remember what time the contractions got bad, but it happened. I was on the ball trying to "roll through them"- ha! :)
Then came transition time and it was bad. I got in the tub trying to relieve the pain a bit.. it might of helped a little? :) I was in there for an hour or so I believe. I went from 5 cm to 10 cm in that time. It was rough. The contractions were intense and so hard... still remembering the pain. :)
Then came the enormous urge to push. My nurse told me I better not give birth in the bathtub. They got me out of there very quickly, put me on the bed, and within 5 minutes and a couple pushes we welcomed Aaron into this world. I was able to grab him and put him on my chest which was awesome. They left him there for a while and let us bond. He was super alert and oh- so precious.
Overall it was a wonderful delivery and so thankful it went so well. I loved that I could do it naturally again and SO thankful I didn't have to push for 2 hours like with Adam. :)
They wrote his weight on the board incorrectly so this whole time I thought I had a baby that was 7"1 just a few ounces bigger then Adam. Thank goodness we took a picture of his scale because it was actually 7"14. I can't believe I had a baby that big.
Adam loves the "bebe" and has been so well behaved through it all. I think he loves all the people around and attention he is getting. He'll be a great big brother.
Here are a couple pictures of our week so far. I need to post them on facebook also... someday.... I would much rather just spend time with all my boys. :)
So tired....more later!
