He's Here!

Hey everyone! My little man, brayden
matthew, finally came into this world
february 16th at 2:46 am, 7 lb 8 oz and 19
inches! I went in at 8:30 am on the 15th
for a nonstress test and they found that
the fluid levels were very low so they
told me I couldn't go home because they
were going to induce me..By 11:30 am I was
started on pitocin and on my way to a very
long labor. Things were very mild until
about 11:00 at night when my water
spontaneously broke and then we were in
for some pain. I had wanted to go pain
med free but as soon as my water broke I
was asking for whatever I could get!
They gave me something in my iv at first
which made me really dizzy but helped ease
things a little and when I reached 5 cm.
They called for my epi. Unfortunately
since it was the middle of the night it
took a bit for the man to get there and I
was moving soo rapidly that the medicine
didn't kick in until a few contrations
before he was born. So I felt almost all
of the contractions but fortunately didn't
feel a thing when he was born. I didn't
even push, my body did it all for me.
There was some pain but all in all it went
wonderfully! I'm so excited he is here,
the recovery has been super and brayden is
such a happy content baby. I wouldn't
have wanted anything different.
Unfortunately now i'm super busy catchin
up on school work I missed and such but I
will post pictures as soon as I have time
to figure it out.
