4 in the morning!!!! Did we get any sleep the night before?... NO!!! |
I can't figure out how to add text higher! So here i'll start. Brad and I arrived at the hospital at 4:00am for me to be induced. This labor and delivery went way smoother than Evan. My nurse said that she wishes that all moms could have their second babies first... and i agree!! I got my epidural early, which was wonderful. It did make me sick for awhile and after throwing up a few times, they gave me meds to feel better. I was so happy that i got my epidural early and i had an awesome anesthesiologist who checked on me several times.

This time when they broke my water, I had already had my epidural so it wasn't uncomfortable at all. Plus i didn't have to have an internal monitor either. By noon i was at a 9, and then a 10 within the hour. My doctor was there on his lunch break and after a few pushes (NOT like last time!), Colton was here! I was so relieved I didn't have to push as long (since i'm still dealing with all kinds of issues from pushing with evan!).

My recovery has been much better than with Evan, and i'm so thankful. My mom has been here helping and has been amazing! She left yesterday, and I only cried the whole way home =)
I love my little family of boys!
