Hello Ladies,
I have been home since Wednesday night and so excited to get back to the boards. I actually had my sweet husband post the links to the pictures of Titus, so this is my first time back since he was born. Everything went really well on Monday with being induced. The day was long, but labor was actually short. We got to the hospital at 7 and they didn't do anything until about 8:20 and it was a slow go for about 4 hours, not much on the contractions at all. Doc came in at 12:45 and broke my water and I was at 2 cm, 80% effaced. After that I flew and was begging for my epidural at 2:00 p.m. and finally got it a little before 3 since they had to give me fluids. I was ready to push by 5, but waited awhile for the doctor and nursery staff and 8 contractions later I had Titus at 5:53. Very good all in all. I had miserable nausea, threw up 5 times and the shakes the first night, but not too bad.
Titus has been absolutely wonderful. He took right to nursing and has done so well since. He is really easy, sleeping, eating, pooping :D We just adore him. He was a tiny little fella, weighing 5 lbs. 13 ozs. and 18 inches long, to be expected since he was 9 days early and they took him early for growth issues anyway. So, I just wanted to pass this along and tell you thank you for your thoughts and prayers!
