He's 7lbs 9oz and 19 1/2 inches long.
My heaviest baby, hardest labor (you can tell from his face and mine!) and so happy to finally HOLD HIM!!!
Cutest little old man baby!
Look at that poor little swollen face!
He was stuck sideways and had the cord wrapped around his neck twice!
His poor little face and head!!!
Labor Story:
So we had my cousins family over for dinner and my uncle was in town as well so we had him and my dad and Celeste over as well. I was sitting down eating and talking to little miss Kay when I thought I peed my pants. Went to change and "peed" my pants again... then I realized I was just constantly "peeing". Yeah I'm a little slow. My water broke. So I told Travis and we rushed to the hospital. All of my other children have been born about 10-15 minutes after my water breaks. This guy is unlike any other pregnancy and labor. He broke the mold so to speak. Sooooo hours later with NO contractions they start me on pitocin. That was fun. Especially when I wanted to push but I was only an 8 1/2 for what seemed like FOREVER. Then I pushed for over an hour at which point I begged for them to cut the baby out. ...multiple times.
Travis was AMAZING! He was by my side the whole time coaching me through it. Ice chips, wash cloth to cool me off, hand to squeeze, you name it he was there and it was awesome. Thanks babe for everything seriously made up for all the other births that you were scared shitless during. :)I couldn't have done it with out you.
And my nurse Sue, was also wonderful! She was a doula for like 17 plus years and was all about the natural birth so she really helped me out too. And after what seemed like forever I finally pushed him out. He was sideways, which is why he had such a hard time coming out, and the cord was wrapped around his neck twice, He was very gray/blue but once she removed the cord he got all his coloring back and started screaming. He had swallowed a bunch of fluid so I didn't get to hold him right away. Then for two seconds I got to and Travis hurried and took a picture then they whisked away baby for the next couple of hours, putting him on oxygen and sucking all that junk he swallowed out. Then they brought him to me!! I was so excited and still am!
My favorite thing is having the kids come visit. I hate being away from them and I countdown the hours until I get to go home.
"I've got a surprise for you!"
Wyatt: giggles, Kailyn: I know its a baby!, Augustus: Is it a toy??!!
She was right! It was a baby!!
"He's so cute!"
Love them all so much!
Can't believe we have four kids!!!
