Holy moly... My 9.5 lb baby!
So our little boy, Connor Liam, was born yesterday at 12:23pm. What an experience! My inducement started at 6am. Contractions got strong around 9 and then I got the epidural. It never took and the anesthesiologist never really could get it to work so I got a spinal block which also never took. We hit 7-8cm around 11... Obviously very very painful contractions by this time. By 11:45 I was telling them that I was ready and that he was coming. At this time contractions were 1.5 min apart and they wanted to know if I wanted a new epidural. I decided we were too close and went for it. I'll skip the extremely scary and traumatic part and just say that our baby was born at almost 12:30, so labor didn't last very long but it was craziness. Connor is humongous at 9.5 lbs (we were expecting 8 at the most because I was so small).
Mom and baby are now happy and healthy! The pain is temporary my friends.
