On October 8, we welcomed the arrival of our son James. After my last doctor's appt at 38 weeks, the doctor thought it was best to schedule an inducement since I was already dilated at 4 cm and almost 100% enfaced.
On Monday at 8:25 am, we arrived to hospital to be induced. After filling out what seemed to be countless forms, my doctor came in and broke my water at 9:10 am. After drying off, we took a tour of the hospital floor a few times before the contractions started to kick in. Little one was ready to come out. So we returned to our room and I was immediately hooked up to the monitors. Once the contractions were close enough it was time to push. At 12:25 pm it was time to push. I pushed and pushed and pushed what seemed like forever to me but in reality it was only 45 minutes. By 1:10 pm, I was holding James in my arms.
I like to tell people that we came up with the name James after my fabulous anesthesiologist who made child birth a breeze. Thanks Dr. James P.
My hubby says I didn't break a sweat.
Look at all that HAIR!!!
