Oh man how difficult it is to keep up with a blog when you
have a newborn and a 2 year old! I’m
going to do my best to catch up when I can.
Lets start with Hailey’s birth…
Hailey was born 4 days passed her due date! Needless to say,
I was very anxious and ready to get the show on the road. I went to my doctors appointment on Sunday
hoping he would want me to induce or do SOMETHING to help the process along. I finally convinced him to set up an
induction date for Tuesday, Nov. 4. We
went into the hospital Tuesday morning just to be informed they had no beds for
us. FRUSTRATING! Lets just say its not
good to frustrate a 9+month pregnant.
They told us to come back in the afternoon after check-out. So back home we went to wait some more. That afternoon we returned and were
thankfully given a bed. My doctor
administered some internal medicine and literally that is the only thing they
did that day!! I thought Micah was going
to go crazy. My dr hoped that the simple
medicine would give Hailey enough motivation to come on her own. Nope.
The next morning the dr stopped by and told me he suggested
that we go home and wait for labor to start naturally. NO thank you.
So he agreed to actually get my induction going by breaking the water
and starting Pitocin a little later. My
Mom and Micah were able to be in the labor room with me until I got my epidural
and then they kicked my Mom out for the rest of the delivery. I was sad not to have her there like she was
with Jacob but everything turned out ok.
