So here is my labor story. I will keep it short and sweet and won't bore you with all the details. But for those who are curious, here you go.
So when I posted last time, on July 25th I was dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced. I for sure thought I was going to have my water break early again like it did with Tucker. My appointment was on Mon Aug 5 and I was still 70% effaced but dilated to a 4. He stripped my membranes to try and speed things up (which was super painful for just a minute, but not too bad). I also scheduled my induction for Thursday. I got contractions really bad immediately after he stripped my membranes and thought I was going to have him that night. NOTHING! In fact, the contractions slowed down.
The next night we went to my father in law's 70th bday party. I was hoping it would happen that day since we gave Weston the middle name of my father in law. But...NOTHING!
So, Thursday came, I called at 6am to see what time to go in, and they said they didn't have me on the calendar! What??? You are telling an emotional 9 month pregnant woman that she can't have the baby that day??? I was FURIOUS! The on call dr wouldn't call in the order either! When I am mad when I am pregnant, I cry! So I did! He told me to wait until the dr office opens at 8 and see if they could call it in and fit me in! I decided to get ready anyways. An hour later Labor and Delivery called and said they just talked to my dr and he said I was suppose to be on the calendar so head on in.
I got there about 8:15am. They started the Pitocin around 9:15 and I got the epidural at 10:15. I wanted to get it early since my last one went horribly!! It took them 3 tries and over 2 hours to get it in. So I had this dr look at my history and he was glad he did! He was shocked! The dr who did the last one is their best dr and many years experience and it was challenging for him. So, this dr was a little nervous but got it good the first try thanks to the notes from last time! Thank goodness! Then 11:15 my dr was checking me and was going to break my water but barely touched it and it burst on its own. Then I had Weston at 2:16p.m. I was very grateful for this experience! Everything went so well and quick! I was apprehensive about getting induced, but I am a big fan! I guess since I was already 1/2 way there before I got there, I think that helped!
So here is the amazing little guy! I seriously can't get enough of him! With Tucker I was so cautious and kind of scared and nervous. But with Weston, I feel way more comfortable and just love on him constantly!! How can I not??
This is a special picture just for the fact that this care was my dads toy car when he was about 3 years old! How cool is that? Love!!
I really wanted to do this pic when Tucker was born but it didn't work out. But I love that I was able to make it happen with Weston! He is Definitely going to love Tonka trucks! He has James as his father and Tucker as his brother, he has no choice!
Aren't they handsome!! I seriously can't believe they are mine forever!
