The Big Day

Wednesday May 26th I went in for a scheduled induction to have our baby girl. We checked in at 11 am and I had an IV in by 11:30. It was kinda scary waiting to be induced, because I didn't know what to expect. With Emma I didn't feel much pain at all and contractions were a breeze but not this time. I was trying to breathe through them thinking who in their right mind would do this more than once, lol. My doctor came in to break my water and they started me on potocin to get the contractions more regular. A while later I was holding the bed and trying to get through the pain. Jake was right by me telling me I was doing good. I got an epidural and felt much better. About 45 mins. later we had our baby!!! HE arrived at 3:23 pm only 41/2 hours after we arrived. Yes we had no idea it would be a boy, the doctor was pretty certain that it was a girl and the ultrasound pics sure looked like a girl part so he was a huge suprise to us.



Emma got to come up just after he was born and got to watch them bathe him and get him all cleaned up. She looks happy to be a big sister although she is not sure about a boy yet, lol. We were all ready for the pink girly stuff.

I was not quite sure what to think when he came out. The doctor said "Congratulations it's a boy" my mouth dropped and I was in shock. They set him on me and I just couldn't believe it, a boy!! AHHHH! I am just grateful for a healthy baby!
