Labor and Delivery

I told Brian he'd come early! One day early. I like being right. :)

Here are the updates:

Dr. Appt today-dialated 2+. Stripped membranes again. Started contractions 10 min apart all day, but not to painful.

Painful contractions start 6 pm.

Admitted to hospital at.11:30. Dialated to a 4+.

Three cheers for the epidural at 12:30!!! Still a 4+.
Waiting for the epidural to kick in...

1:54-Epidural hasn't been working, just gave the dose (they were stuck in a c section). Stacy is in major pain. Her water broke sometime in the past hour. The baby is fully effaced and she is at a 5 and the baby is at a 0 station.
2:22- baby Anderson was born. Epidural never kicked in and the times are correct she went from a 5 to delivery in 28 minutes. He is a healthy boy at 6 lbs 2 ounces and 18.5 inches. Right now he is just in moms arms. Sadly I'm sick so I can't hold him just yet. Later we will post pictures.

He is a darling, tiny little guy! Dark hair and just teeny. His eyes are still puffy, but mom think he has the cutest nose. He's already a great eater when we can get him to be awake.


The epidural better work next time!
