The birth story...

Sorry this entry has taken so long, our computer died right before London was born. I thought I would write about the entrance of London.
I had to be induce due to the fact that my doc was going out of town on vacation and I was not really willing to deliver with a different doc if I didn't have to. So on the morning of the 17th we went into the hospital at 6:30am. I was ready for a long day! I was imediately hooked up to the pitocin, which I really didn't want! I had it with Belle and it was so painful!!! I was dialating slowly, like hardly at all! By noon I had my water broke, which was weird!!! Last time it just naturally happened! Then it all went really fast! I had no pain until then and needed pain killers!!! They gladly gave me all I asked for but first I sat on the birthing ball, that was amazing!!! I loved it and it really relaxed me until the pain got to bad! They called the anastesiologist but he was in surgery so they gave me a med throught the IV and then he came so I got both at the same time! I was really loopy when he was giving me the epidural and he was talking to me. He told me for some reason, I really don't know, that his 30 year old brother still dressed up as a star wars person and I made fun of him! While he is sticking a huge needle in my spine I was making fun of his brother for being nerdy, I am brave and stupid at the same time!!! But he was laughing and having fun with me and he did a really great job! I felt no pain until London layed on a nerve and pinched it. I labored for a few hours and then told the nurses that I thought I was ready and they really didn't believe me. They checked me and much to there surprise I was complete and ready to push! They called my doc and he was right there and he calmly sat down on the bed and told me I would push a few times just to see what was going to happen. Then he got this terrified look on his face, I was terrified!! I asked him what was wrong and he said I am not ready and the baby was for real coming and I had to wait! Are you kidding me?!!?? That was the longest 5 minutes of the whole labor! So I pushed for a total of 10 minutes but it took 15 minutes. London was perfect and had the softest cry! He had a full head of hair, Belle did not! We were so excited that we forgot to tell the family that was waiting for info anything! I held him right away and can honestly tell you I really haven't put him down. I love him like crazy and am very thankful for a healthy baby boy and 3 year old girl!

We are blessed!!!!


Never have you met a more loving sissy! She has been very attetive to him and all he may need! She kisses him so much that I have to tell her to stop, which I hate to do but I feel like they may never stop. We have seen no signs of jealousy and that is so great, I really didn't think she would feel that way! She helps us out so much by putting paci's back in his mouth, getting things for us, and entertaining him. We are so blessed by having such a loving little girl!
He is a wonder also. He is so calm and relaxed!! I was concerned when we brought him home because he was so quiet and content.
