Checking (ETA PIP)
Hi ladies!
For those of you that didn't see the news on facebook...
My water broke at 6:50 Thursday (May 12) morning and we headed to the hospital. I had minor contractions all day that I couldn't really feel and was only about 4cm dilated at 6pm so was started on a small pitocin drip that got the contractions going. Around 11 contractions were pretty strong and frequent and I was 8cm dilated, I requested something to "take the edge off" I think it was Fentanyl. I could still feel the contractions but was able to relax in between them. After about an hour of pushing R was born at 12:48 on Friday 13, the same day as my Grandma who
had her 90th birthday that day and she was also born on a Friday! So
cool.
We lucked
out and our birth class instructor ended up being our nurse so we had
extra help through labor which was amazing. H was absolutely
unbelievable in his support and keeping me relaxed. Our birth instructor
said she wished she could have filmed him as an example :-) R was 7lbs
9.2oz and 19.25 inches long.
We came home with R last night after he spent 6 hours in the sun bed at the hospital because his Bili Reuben/jaundice counts were a little high. First night went well, hopefully that continues! He is eating really well so far (I'm BFing) and seems to be a pretty happy camper all around.

Abvernon- That's so cool that you were born on Friday the 13th too! It's definitely my new lucky day :-)
Thank you! So far so good. A little sore still, and a little tired but other than that doing really well.
