my lil one arrived :)

okay so my lil one finally arrived 7/23 at 8:52pm 8.5 lbs 20 in long i am totally stoked about him arriving safely.yes i did say he for all of you who knew my husband and i werent finding out the sex of our baby until birth an we are happy to announce the arrival of our son. his name is Cadence Michael. he is soo precious i will have a pic up on the profile soon. he was totally a hard one for sure..lol so my story is as you may know last friday i had a doctors appt. an i was dilated 5cm but still thick when i left for my dr's as i got there, there was no change. ( i was so upset) my mom an sister ddrove forever to be here at the dr's w/ me hoping for something. so my dr. said she would strip my membrains which she had done the week before an nothing  so as you could imagine i was not happy. anyways so she did it an luckily there was a lot of blood (tmi i know) sorry so as i got dressed an walked out of the office the contractions started so mym om an sister had the bright idea lets walk around the mall to help induce me some. so we did for alomst 2 hrs first hr contractions stayed at 5min apart then 'for the second hr they stayed 3min apart so we figured we would eat something (big mistake)  not recommended! anyways after i felt wierd an had to pee we went to the restrooms an there it was the bloody show of my mucus plug (great right) well we went to the hospital it was around 5pm so they checked me and guess what great news i got then??? i was 9cm dilated (no meds now) they refuse to give meds if you are 9cm. so i had to deliver this 8.5 lb baby with a 14 in head w/ no meds...OMG never again. i was in so much pain he was stuck they were gettibng ready to call in a surgeon (b/c he was to big for my body build an was stuck half way.) but right before the dr could call Cadence decided to rip his way out an nothing was stopping him. so at 8:52pm he made his entrence an all the pain in the world was worth seeing the face of my lil man an looking in his eyes as he started back at me with puffy eyes an swollen cheeks. im happy to say he is 1wk an 1dy old today :) best baby ever he sleeps great eats every 4 hours an wow he is his daddy made all over. with a head full of hair. so we have offically welcomed our number 7 into our lifes an the tubes are getting tide in a few weeks.  so nyways i just wanted to share my story with all of you who kept up w/ my rough pregnancy. an i wish luck to the rest of you an your babys to come!!!!
