Getting ready to go home from the hospital
Ready to go!
I haven't taken any of Ryan with him. And I haven't taken any of the whole family. I feel like an awful wife/mom! I'll post more soon!
STORY
(for those who are interested and for me so I have it written down somewhere!):
Because I was past my due date, they induced me. My doctor was kind enough to do it on a Saturday because they were booked in the OB department for this week. I had been dialated to a 2 1/2 and 80% effaced and that's what I was still at when I went into the hospital at 5:00 am Saturday morning. They got the monitors going and pitocin going at 6:00 am. My doctor came in at 8:30 and I was still at a 2 1/2. He broke my water and we waited some more. I received an epidural at about 10:00; why wait? At 11:00 I was dialated to a 3. Wow, I was making fast progress!!! I took a little nap, woke up at about 12:15 and told Ryan, "why don't you go get some lunch or something." Ryan left for a little bit while I laid there and waited some more. The nurse came in and checked me again at 1:15. Right as Ryan walks back in the room, she says, "wow, you're at a 9!" Good timing, Ryan! She went and called my doctor and got things ready. My doctor got there at about 1:35 and said, "wow, baby's head is right there!" He dressed up, I pushed through 2 contractions, and little brother was born! As you can see in the pictures, he has lots of brown hair. It's lots darker than Celeste's was! Everyone is doing well!
