So if I thought I was behind before baby, now I am REALLY REALLY behind, two months to be exact :) Well Logan made his arrival on April 15th,2012, he really waited for the perfect moment... Ry was home three days prior to Logan's birth and he was born on a Sunday, so no one had to take the day off work :) He planned it perfectly :) So here goes his story... Sat April 14th I went to work at 1500 (3pm), I was feeling great, until about 2200 (10pm), I started to have some uncomfortable contractions that would wrap all the way around my back, they were regular at times, and then would go away so I thought they were just some braxton hicks... Luckily we were slow at work and they sent me home at 2300, i got home and showered and tried to go to bed, well that didn't work :) I woke Ry around 0200 and we waited it out until 0300, then we went to the hospital... When we arrived I was still just uncomfortable, thinking they would just send me home... Well I was dilated to a 3 and 100% effaced, so we waited for the Dr to come at 0600, and he said I was staying, we were having a baby!!! I cried of course, couldn't believe the day had come... We waited until 0730 to call family and my parents arrived at 0800, they were a little excited :) They broke my water ay 0830 and the contractions got so intense I HAD to get an epidural :) I was at a 5 when I got the epidural at around 0900... Well it took a good 45min for the epidural to work, and then it wasn't working on the right side of my body, so the Dr was called in to come re-dose me, well he re-dosed me alright :0 I decided a little too much and passed out.... I awoke to craziness in my room and oxygen shoved on my face, they were bolusing me with lots and lots of fluids to get my blood pressure back up and babies heart rate back up, they almost took me to c-sec but a little norepinephrine kicked my blood pressure up and Logan's heart rate responded almost instantly :) but it was a good scare, in all this, my in laws showed up, what a scene to walk into.. oops :) After all this, I felt AWESOME!!! The epidural was working and we were just relaxing enjoying everyone's company :0 At around noon the Dr checked me, I was an 8, and by 1240 little Logan arrived :) I pushed for all of 17 minutes, and they had to vacuum him out due to his little heart rate went down AGAIN!!! But he was born perfect... Just perfect :) He was 8 lbs 4 oz and 21 inches, big little man :)
