I cannot believe that Eli 1! This year has gone so fast. I've been remembering my labor with Eli and I thought I should probably write some it down so I can remember it.
I was admitted to the hospital for induction and got my drip around 7:30. . Dr. Thurston said "I'll bet we have a baby early this afternoon!" I laughed and said "nah it'll probably be tomorrow" She didn't believe me. After 5hours on pit I was still a fingertip dilated. So my Dr. tried to break my water but she couldn't get to the bag of water. I got my epidural so she could do what she had to do to get the bag of waters broken. Once she broke my water we were both SHOCKED by how much water I had. It was no surprise my body wasn't dilating there was so much water between his head and my cervix. I soaked the entire bed and floor of the room. more than once.
At about 10pm Eli's heart rate started dipping when I would have contractions and would come back up afterwards. It was making me crazy. Finally at midnight I was a 10. They wanted to me to wait a bit for him to come down a little farther (less pushing). At 12:45 we started pushing. 3 pushes later we had our sweet little baby. He was such a doll from the beginning.
He is such a sweet boy. He has been walking since the beginning of September, climbing stairs, trying to play in toilets and basically being a stinker. :) We love him so much. He is the perfect ending to our family.
I didn't think I would ever have a 4th child and I am so glad that we did. He is the best.
