Washington is for... Recap

We moved to Washington! We are loving it so far. Brian got a new job and is having a great time with it! I am thinking about going back to work in  couple months in labor and delivery and am looking forward to that! We have been here almost a month and it has been great. Luke is 4 months now and LOVES to talk and laugh. I love watching him discover his voice! He is also starting to scoot around!! How is he growing so fast?!

Birth Day

This is my nurse! I delivered at the hospital where I work!! :)

I arrived at the hospital for at 7:30 pm, 3 cm dilated. Pitocin started and  it was not bad at all. I was laughing, talking normally and in no pain. Around 10:45pm, the nurse checked me again with very little progress (3-4 cm dilated). My Doctor came and broke my water, COPIOUS amounts of fluid drained from my shrinking belly, baby boy was coming soon!!! Within 5 minutes my contractions got very intense, I have never felt that much pain!! I could not hold still and requested an epidural at 12:00 am. It took around 35 minutes before my anesthesiologist came because I had requested him specifically.  He agreed to come in on his night off just for me. He came in, and after about 5 minutes, the epidural was in and working!  Baby Luke's heart rate dropped when I was put back on the monitors and I was then dilated to 7 cm. at 12:40 am.  The nurse advised me to rotate from side to side to see if Luke's heart rate would come back up.   At around 12:45 am, I was checked again due to his low heart rate.   I had progressed to 9 cm!! My doctor was paged to come quick to deliver baby Luke.  His heart rate started to come back up when I laid on my left side and around 12:50 am, I felt the urge to bear down and push him out! Luckily I had the epidural and was relaxed enough not to push until my doctor came. At 1:00 am I started to push, and at 1:17 am our sweet angel was born into this world!

We are so in love with this boy!








He is the most beautiful baby. He sleeps so soundly and he is such a good little eater. :) We are so grateful to have had a wonderful labor and delivery experience and to be blessed with such an amazing child. He brings such a beautiful spirit to our home.  We are blessed.
