I went to the hospital Wednesday morning at 6:00 am to be induced. After all the waiting, getting me in a delivery room, & questioning, it was about 7:30 when they started the pitocin. At that point I was only dilated to a 1. After about 3 hours of contractions, I got an epidural. By that time I was at a 3. In 1 1/2 hours I progressed to an 8. And 30 minutes after that was at a 10. The nurse had me do a practice push to see if I was going to be pushing for a little while or if we needed to call my Dr. right away to deliver the baby. After one push, she said, "Stop! I'll go call your Dr." The Dr. said he'd be there in 20 minutes, so we waited. When he got there, I started pushing. Two contractions and 5 pushes later, Emery was born!
Everything about my delivery was amazing! I was so surprised and happy with how fast and smooth everything went. I was comparing everything with Ty's delivery, which was 16 hours of labor and 1 hour of pushing! I'm thinking I'll induce every time.... who knows how many times that will be. I don't even want to think about it. It won't be for quite a while!!!
It took Ty a few days to adjust to having a baby in the home taking the attention of Mom & Dad away from him. He was super fussy and clingy, getting frustrated with every little thing. But he is doing much better. He loves little Emery and always wants to give kisses and watch her. He is going to be a sweet big brother.
YaYa has been a big help here! She has taken off the week to take care of Ty while I take care of Emery and get some rest. She has Ty's schedule full of fun stuff to do. He loves spending time with his YaYa.
