On Thurs October 2nd at 2:43 in the morning...... after being twelve days overdue, Aaron finally arrived! At 7lbs 14oz and 20 inches long he is absolutely perfect.
The Story
8:00 Wednesday morning Nate and I left for the hospital, leaving little David with Nana Lamoreaux. I had an induction scheduled for 9 o'clock at the Overland Park Hospital but things didn't really get started until 11:00ish (typical). At which time Dr. Estrin came in and broke my water and then started me on the pitocin drip. Things were going really well except my nurse kept having a hard time finding Aaron's heartbeat. So Dr. Estrin returned and discovered that Aaron had turned in my tummy (that little booger) and was now sideways in my belly. Luckily I had a very skilled doctor who was willing to try an external version instead of just opting for the repeat cesarean. So Dr. Estrin massaged my belly in an attempt to turn Aaron back around. Fortunately and painfully Aaron rotated back into launch position! Now it was time to just wait..... and wait...... the waiting got a little easier when I finally decided to get my epidural after an intense moment of heavy pitocin induced contractions. At around 11 o'clock that night I was fully dilated to 10cm. After a good 2 hour nap (thanks to the epidural) we started pushing around 1 in the morning and an hour and a half later little Aaron arrived!
He is such a sweet little baby
We are so happy everything went well and are grateful for all the help from our family and friends. We are especially grateful for Nana Lamoreaux spending so much time with us. Thanks mom!
