It has been two weeks since Parker arrived and things have been pretty crazy. I am trying to figure out this having three kids thing :-) Right now the kids are playing and Parker is sleeping so I figured I would update the blog and share the birth story.
This Labor and delivery was such a different experience. I finally came to terms that he was not going to come on his own and I would be induced on the 30th. I was able to enjoy the last couple of weeks and cherish each moment. I really enjoyed it up until the day before being induced. The day before I was kind of a mess. I had a few break downs and felt a little anxious and nervous and overwhelmed. I was really excited but knowing what was going to happen the next day was kind of crazy.
So we arrived at the hospital at 7:30 in the morning and checked in. They hooked me up to the IV. At about 9:30 my Dr. came in and broke my water and they started me on pitocin. That is when my contractions started to pick up but I still wasn't ready for an epidural. I really wanted to wait as long as possible and just breath through them. Finally at about 11 or 11:30 I asked for the epidural and after that we just waited. Finally it was time to push. I think I pushed for about 5 minutes or so and he arrived at 12:38 pm. He was a perfect 8 lbs 3 oz and 20.5 inches long.
I got a little bored while we were waiting :-)
