So we got to the hospital and I got all dressed in that sexy robe and got all hooked up ready to get pitossin and have the doctor break my water. I wanted to wait as long as I could to get the epidural. Around 2 that afternoon, I got it and I felt awesome! I was progressing very slowly and got stuck at a 4 all afternoon and evening. Sometime after 9 pm, the nurse checked me and I was dilated to a 9, finally! Then she left. All of a sudden I felt tons of pressure down there and knew it was time. I had to call the nurses desk to tell them to send my nurse back in; this baby is coming and I need to push! She came in and told me the doctor wasn't at the hospital but on his way back from Timpanogos Hospital. Oh crap, I thought! But then he walked in just then. Phew!
I pushed for 5 minutes and out came little Roman. I thought he looked just like Kenadie did when she was born. He wasn't really crying, but just kind of squaking. We were trying to get him to cry more so we knew he was breathing ok. He finally cried a little more, but as I've learned, he doesn't cry loud, mostly squaks and grunts. They set him on top of me and I was just lost in his little face. I was the happiest person at that moment. He was perfect! It was love at first sight! I looked up at Bule and he was teary eyed, so happy his little boy was here.
He was born at 9:42 pm...6 lbs 13 oz and 18 inches.
Right before we left home for the hosptial
At the hospital
I look bigger in this robe than I do in my clothes!
Just hangin' out
And here he is!
Cutest boy ever!
I was starving and actually felt good enough to eat!
The next day Kenadie was finally able to meet him. She was so excited and happy!
Ready to go home!
What a great experience I had and I feel so very blessed to have a healthy baby and a sweet little girl. Oh and one fabulous husband!
