Our induction started around 9:30 on 6/21. Alex and my Mom went to the hospital with me. After we realized that it was going to be a very lenght process Mom went home for some sleep and cam back the next day. There was not a lot going on, but we could not sleep worth a darn. I havd so much built up anticipation and fear that I could not relax at all. The nurse we had was amazing and we were lucky enough to get her the 2nd day when she returned for a new shift-yes we were there that long.
There were several things they tried to get me to dilate, but it just was not happening. I got to a 5 and was there for about 5 hours and then the baby's heartrate started dropping with each contraction. The doctor decided at 8:35 to do the c-section and she was at the hospital by 9 ready to begin. The procedure was not bad at all, I felt nothing. I just wanted to make sure the the baby was safe. It is amazing how much you love this little person the moment you lay eyes on him. At the same time, I was amazed how my love for Alex changed. Wow! I feel so lucky.
We were in the hospital until Tuesday and I ended up coming home on bed rest and with blood pressure medicing because my bp was worse after delivery than before. Alex, mom and Krissy took turns staying at the hospital with me and we had our share of visitors as well.
Aaron has been to church and the doctor. He is gaining weight and changing everyday. We are just trying to get into a routine and cherish every moment that we have.
