Finally!!!!

Its taken me several days (5 to be exact) to update. My son arrived on 09/08/08, weighing in at a whopping 8lbs 5oz and 19.25 inches long.

He's perfect in every single way, he reminds me so much of my daughter from looks to the little quirks.

Here's the run down on his birth, he was scheduled for eviction on the 8th, they were going to start with the gel and move on to pitocin if needed, I had anticipated his arrival for the 9th or 10th. I've been fighting a cold for the last week and about 2:00am on Monday morning I started coughing then I got this sharp pain around my pelvic bone, I said to hubby "boy this is going to be fun, a head cold and a pulled muscle for labor". I went back to bed and continued coughing off and on for the remainder of the night, while I coughed I'd get the same sharp pain. At 7:30 am I woke up from a sound sleep with more frequent pains so I timed them. The more I walked and did stuff around the house the more intense the pains got eventually stopping me in my tracks. So I called the OB's office to tell them I was in labor and induction was not needed.

I got to the hospital around 10:00am and was admitted at 4 cm and 100% effaced. I labored in the jacuzzi tub and finally got out and requested the epidural, at 3:40pm my son was born.

I'm still adjusting to life with 2 kids but hey its only been 5 days and I figured eventually I'll become a pro and I'll figured out how to feed the baby and bathe my daughter at the same time.
