And now you know the rest of the story....

Again, I apologize for this being so long...

When we got to the hospital, they admitted me right away. I even got to skip the "let's see if she is really in labor room." The nurses were great, and contacted the epidural superman quickly since I was already dilated to an 8. I had some really intense labor and was near tears when he walked in the room. He asked Billy to go around the bed to help me while he inserted the needle. Billy politely declined due to the fact he almost passed out when I got one with Brayden. So, the nurse stepped in while he did his work and told me he gave me 99% of the medicine and now we were BFF. I had to agree. Dr. Agrusa showed up during that time and checked on me. After my epidural was in place and had taken effect I had a few minutes to rest and then we were ready to give it a go. There was some meconium in the water when they broke it, so they brought in the respitory therapist. I didn't feel any pain when pushing, which was great since I was totally wiped out from the labor. He delivered after a few pushes, Billy cut the cord, and I got to hold my darling little boy.

It was just amazing to see this little person that I'd been talking to for the last 9 months. He has a such a sweet little face, big long feet and super long nails! He even had some chubby on his legs. He slept a lot all day and didn't want to wake up to nurse. He still can't decide if he likes it or not.

When he was first born they were a little concerned if he had enhaled any meconium, but his oxygen levels were really good, his breathing was just a little on the fast side, but it slowed down.

The kids came down last night to see their baby brother. They were really cute. Brayden loved holding him and Brooklyn just wanted to put his blankie on him and play with him like he was a doll. She would point at him and then look at me. We'll probably head home tonight and let the real fun begin!
