I started having contractions every 8-10 minutes starting at 6:00am on Saturday morning. By 6:45 they started coming every 5 minutes and were quite strong. We called the hospital at 7:45 and were admitted just shortly after 8:00. I was already 5 cm when they first checked me and we quickly progressed to 8 cm. I got and epidural which was a really good thing since I would never have expected him to be as big as he was! They had me wait for a while before starting to push since the doctor was grabbing a bite to eat. They were in our room at 11:30 and started to set up. By about 11:40 we started to push and he was in my arms at 12:01. Steve was there the entire time being the great Daddy he is. It was a proud moment for the both of us.
He looks quite a but like Zachary. He is a great baby so far and hopefully he continues to be so easy going. He is most alert when his big brothers are around, usually opening his eyes for them. We are all home now and are hoping for a decent first night. Wish us luck!
