View Full Version : We're home!!
harmony5 03-03-2007, 04:30 PM We're finally home!
We went into the hospital on Wednesday at 4pm for induction (so I thought). My cervix wasn't soft enough and I was only dialated 1cm, so they decided to do a gel pack balloon thingy that had to stay in 12 hours. It's purpose was to soften my cervix.
So, at 6am on Thursday, 3/1, they started giving me pitocin. Around 8:20, the doctor came in and broke my water. I was dialated 4cm at that point. Contractions picked up pretty heavy from there and I gladly accepted Demerol in my IV. Around 11:50, I felt the urge to push and the nurse called the doctor. When the doctor arrived, I pushed 4 times, which was a lot for me. :wink:
At 12:04, our beautiful baby was born!!
Oh, yeah, you guys want to know a little something huh??? Boy or girl???

Thanks for all your prayers ladies!! I'm attaching a picture we took today right before we left the hospital.

myjoyoverflows 03-04-2007, 09:06 PM What a big beautiful boy! Congrats! He's just perfect!
irishmum2boys 03-05-2007, 09:03 PM Congratulations, he is just beautiful :) Well Done mom I am so proud of you, my oldest ds was 9lbs 10 oz and I wasn't able to deliver him by myself, so that is wonderful! So glad everything worked out well!
ChamomileFriend 03-05-2007, 09:09 PM Congrats he is beautiful! You are also giving me more confidence about getting my little man out when it is time!
Ds#1 was 8 lbs 15.5 oz, and I know 2nd babies are usually bigger than first babies, so I am worried this one will be a 9-10+ pounder!
lvrofmusik 03-05-2007, 09:42 PM Congratulations!! There is nothing more precious than a baby in this life on earth, Besides the love of Jesus ofcourse. Take it easy and enjoy every minute.
:)
