Introducing....
Deegan Paul! Born Friday, November 12th at 8:45pm, 8 lbs. 7 oz. 12 1/2 inches.
We are all doing great and he's absolutely perfect!
ETA-- Here's a short version of the birth story: I got my membranes stripped on Tuesday and was dilated to a 3, but had hardly any contractions after that. Thursday night I ate a really spicy dinner, did a lot of walking and bounced on the exercise ball. At 4 am Friday I had some discharge- not enough to think it was my water, just enough that my underwear got a little wet. This happened 3 more times until I finally called the Dr. at 8 am. They said to head to L&D. Sure enough, it was my water! I was still at a 3, no contractions, so they gave me pitocine. Around 2:30 pm the contractions were getting painful and when they offered at Epi, I accepted. I was still only a 4. When they checked me at 6:30 I was a 9.5, but couldn't feel a single contractions! At 7:30 the nurse said I was ready to push, by 8:46 he was here!!! To be honest, it was so much easier and quicker that I expected (thanks to the Epi!). We both had a fever, but no infection and I tore slightly, but it's not too bad.
