Well,\u00c2\u00a0Josiah finally made it!\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0I say finally, but he was a week early…\u00c2\u00a0 Anyway, Patti’s water broke yesterday and she had a non-stress test at the hospital anyway, so when she went in for that, they took her vitals, and sent her home with instructions to come back this morning if she hadn’t started into labour all by her self.<\/p>\n

Well this morning came and no labour, so we went into the hospital just after 7:30 and got all hooked up.\u00c2\u00a0 They started an IV drip at 1 unit per hour and then slowly increased it every half hour.\u00c2\u00a0 The most they can go to before they need a specialist is 20 units per hour and we got there.\u00c2\u00a0 We hung around until after 1:00pm and still no real contractions, but by 1:30 at 20 units per hour we started having contractions.\u00c2\u00a0 Then at about 2:30 they were actually really starting to hurt and Patti didn’t think that really anything had happened yet, so we better get some pain med for the rest of the ride.\u00c2\u00a0 Nurse made it in by about 2:35 and checked and Patti was at 7cm dilated and so went to get pain meds and call our dr.\u00c2\u00a0 The nurse came back in a few minutes later (now about 2:45) and got ready to give the pain meds.\u00c2\u00a0 Patti had a fairly hard contraction right then and the nurse quickly gave her the meds and then did another check and said that she was fully dilated and could push if she needed to.\u00c2\u00a0 so the next contraction Patti gave a good push and the entire head came out in one shot.\u00c2\u00a0 The cord was wrapped around the neck so they quickly pulled that out of the way and cut it, then removed the rest of the baby.\u00c2\u00a0 The time was 2:58.<\/p>\n

The specialist showed up about 10 minutes too late and the pain meds kicked in about 10 minutes after that.\u00c2\u00a0 Good timing!!!<\/p>\n

He weighed in at 7 lb 12 oz and was 20.9 inches long.\u00c2\u00a0 The nurse said that he had the largest umbilical cord she had ever seen, and was perfect in every way.<\/p>\n

He is an amazing nurser and quite pleasant.\u00c2\u00a0 There are a million more photos of him and baby and him and relatives and him and flowers and him and so on.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll let Patti choose which ones to post tomorrow, so you get the one above for now. (Ain’t he cute?!?)<\/p>\n

Have a good night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
