Labor/Delivery

here is my last belly shot picture right before we headed to the hospital.

Well as probably all of you know, we had our baby Jackson on September 7, 2007 @ 2:39 p.m. (Yes four days late!!) I got to the hospital at 7:00 am and was hooked up to all the machinery and given the PIT to start my labor. Everything was going really good. I started having really hard contractions about 3 hours into it and figured I was ready for my epideral. They checked me and I was dialated to a 4, so they gladly gave me the epidural. By the time I got it, I was soooo glad to have it. About 2 1/2 hours later they checked me and I was fully dialated and his head was right there. They called the Dr. in and we were ready to push. I think I pushed through 2 contractions and he was out (not even 10 minutes of pushing)!!

So overall I would say it was a great labor and delivery, especially for a first child.

Our new little family! We love you and welcome you to the family little man!

Congratulations! Annie gave me your blog and I have been checking it in anticipation to see that baby of yours. I am so glad that things went well. The question is--how is it going now. Life sure changes fast when babies come around. I am still adjusting myself. The baby is adorable, you look great, your blog is cute and your sister in law takes amazing pictures..how does she do that?

You're such a champ, Hay! And such a cute little fam you have! Although I think I hate you for looking so dang good 4 days AFTER your due date. I think the reason E needed to come a few weeks early was because *I* was getting too big :)
