Here is how things all got started!! After bunco on Tuesday mark and i sat in the hot tub for about 15 minutes- (it's allowed!) then we came in and watched t.v and had dessert. Around 11:00 pm i started to keep track of my contractions. after a while i fell asleep but around 3 am i couldn't stand them any longer! so off we headed. The nurse said i was about 3 centimeters and they would watch me for one hour. after the hour was up she said i was the same and gave me the choice of walking around or going home- i choose walking. after an hour of walking they checked me again and i had changed- I GET TO STAY!! I needed to have 2 rounds of antibiotic before i could deliver so we started an iv right away. the doctor than broke my water and an epidural. after 4 hours i could be given my 2nd dose of meds. the doctor called to see where i was at and the nurse checked and found that i was at 10!!! she ran to grab my 2nd dose and stared so by the time the doctor was at the hospital i could push. Already at a 10 and i could feel my contractions, so with about 20 minutes of waiting for the medication to go in and feeling pressure, i was ready to push!! 1 contraction with 2 pushes and he was out. my first thought was how small he was!! later to hear that he was 6 pounds 11 ounces and 18 inches with a head full of dark hair! my second smallest baby!! Healthy and strong! what a great way to end a family!! this all went better than i thought it would! how blessed to have had such great pregnancies! mark was excited that he looked like Payton!! we both couldn't be more happy- thanks for all the support!
