Ok here are the pictures!!!! So first of all here is what happened. If you don't care scroll down. Went in at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday to be induced at 1 week over. Started pit and something else around 8:30. Was only dilated to 1 1/2 to 2. They kept upping the dosage every 20 minutes. By 2:00 started feeling contractions pretty good. At 4:00 a.m. really wanting an epidural but said they couldn't until I was dilated to a 3 so they gave me something to take the edge off which made me feel loopy and didn't help too much. At 8:00 a.m. begging for more meds and asking when I can have my epidural. she checked me and I was at a 7!!!!! Really, I could of had it I'm sure a few hours before but they never checked me. So anyways gave me epidural laid back down, and still felt everything. Waited 15 minutes still in pain so the had to take it out and give me a 2nd epidural. This one worked but I still felt my legs and alot of pressure. At 9:30 she checked me I was fully dilated. Started pushing at 9:39, and pushed through 3 contractions and had him at 9:44 a.m Sunday morning. Brett weighed in at 8 lbs. 9 ounces and was 20.5 inches long!
The kids came to visit on Sunday. I think this was my favorite part to see the kids expression when they saw him for the first time. Olivia looked so confused and wanted to see Brett and hold him right away. She also liked to "pet" him. Taylor held him for a few minutes and then was off drawing on some paper. Kaitlyn was so excited but mainly concerned about me. She kept coming and sitting on my bed asking how I was feeling and making sure her momma was o.k. Derick was loving on him and looked so big holding him. He was also making sure I was o.k. These pic's of me and all the kids on the hospital bed crack me up. We are running out of room on there!!!! So I got home today (Monday) at 11:00 a.m. and I'm feeling pretty soar and tired but excited. My stomach is really soar but I just love playing house with a new little baby. Thank good ness my parents are here to play mom for the next 2 weeks so I can rest.
