So as most of you know by now, we have a new member in our family! Although he has been making himself known for the last few months-he has finally made an appearance. We went into the hospital on Friday Oct. 9th for our scheduled induction (I was already dilated more and having more contractions so I think that he would have been coming sooner than later on his own regardless) they started pitocin around 9:00am and things were moving along at a fair pace. Things really picked up after the doctor broke my water about 1:00pm after that it really just flew by! The epidural wasn't as effective as it was with Hunter so I was feeling some discomfort and pressure which wasn't horrible, i just wasn't expecting to be feeling anything. I was complete just after 3:00pm and so they called in the doctor. We started pushing at 3:32pm and he arrived at 3:37pm I can handle 5 minutes of pushing! He was bigger than I was sure I was having at 7lbs 10oz and 19 1/2in he looks very different from what Hunter looked like at birth, but no less adorable! It was very emotional and and great! i couldn't have asked for better. We stayed at the hospital for a traditional 2 day stay and came home on Sunday the 11th. things are going well and big brother is adjusting-a few glitches here and there but that is to be expected!
