Dad has already started playing games with his boy!


How cute is that?!


A few hours after the hard part.

He was a bit of a surprise and he changed all our plans. Didn't think we'd end up having a baby yesterday but after our appointment it was decided that inducing would be the best option. I wasn't feeling him as much and when the did the non-stress test my fluid levels were a little low. So I started Pitocin at 11:30 am, made it until 10:30pm naturally. It was no longer worth it to me to try natural when at 9:30 i was only dilated to a 4 and the contractions were 2 minutes apart and intense. Got an epidural and relaxed the last few hours. Proud i made it as long as i did naturally on a super high dose of Pitocin and totally OK with the decision to give up that dream for this time! Grandma O and Aunts arrived just in time for the pushing and delivery. I pushed 50 minutes and then had this sweet baby! I love him. So does dad and grandma and aunts etc.
