Happy 2nd Anniversary

Today is our second anniversary. We didn’t plan anything because we didn’t know when Isaac would be arriving, and if I had to be induced it would likely have been happening right now. So instead we’re spending a quiet day at home. Enjoying the day with no visitors. Just the three of us (with my mom upstairs – boo!) Watching movies, eating brie, pate and crackers (us, not the baby) and doing some household chores (laundry, groceries). We might even go for a walk around the block if the rain will stay away.

Happy 2nd anniversary to us.

perfect

As I sit here breast feeding my son I can’t help but think how perfect my life is right this second. Yes, the past few days have been hard, but every second of hard is totally worth it when I stare into his perfect little face.

Will try to do a proper post soon, but not sure when. I’m able to keep up with the world on my blackberry but it’s not good for typing out long posts. Need my computer for that and I just haven’t had the time. Ces’t la Vie.

Pictures!!!

Isaac

He was born on Tuesday June 30 at 3:21am after 30+ hrs of labour.

8lbs, 6.5oz

Were both doing great. Getting released from the hospital tomorrow. More info and pictures to follow after we get home.

midnight

7 cm and counting. I’m progressing at about 1cm per hour. We’ve officially been at the hospital for 24 hours. Never thought I’d be one to have such a long labour. Baby is doing fine. I’m doing fine. I’m so tired though. I’ve been up for 2 days. Gonna try to catch some zzzzz’s for the next 2 hours until my next cervix check.

10pm(ish)

5 cm. Looks like I’m gonna be here all night. So much for baby being born on it’s due date. We were so close!

7:30 pm

Dilated 4 cm. Baby had a slight dip in heart rate, but everything’s ok now.

crap!

Only dialated 2.5 – 3cm. This is taking forever and I’m sooooo tired!

oh yeah!

Epidural so sweeeet! Oxytocin started! Things are happening!

13 hrs and counting…10:23am

So no meconium, that’s the good news. Bad news is that they still don’t have a labour and delivery room for me yet. I keep getting bumped by women more urgant than me. Right now I’m sitting in the hotel lobby, just chillin. Had some breakfast. Gonna go back to triage in about an hour so they can check on me again.

8:03am

Looks like there might be some meconium in my leaky fluid. They’ve got me on a continuous fetal monitor now. Water broke 11 hrs ago. If my contractions don’t organize by 9 they’ll have to break out the drugs.

more waiting

Still in triage waiting for a L&D room. Contractions continue to be irregular, but damn they’re strong!

2cm

Left for the hospital at midnight. Dilated 2cm as of about 2am. Now just waiting and walking around to see how things are progressing.

Yup

Waters have definitely broken. No major contractions yet though.

Holy Cow!

I’m leaking!!!
