I have been procrastinating this post a little. I have had enough requesting for it, so here we go...
At my last doctors appointment which was 3 weeks before my due date I was still dilated at a 2 and 60% effaced. We (me and my doctor) decided to schedule me to get induced. He tells me that I could get induced a week before my due date. Unfortunately he was going to be out of town so the soonest it would be is only 4 day before my actual due date. I went out to get my appointment scheduled with the nurse, and we decided that August 27th would be the date. The nurse called the hospital to get me scheduled. They said "we are all full the 27th and the 28th, but they would put me on the waiting list for both days". So Sunday the 26th, I called the hospital to see if I was going to get to come in and have my baby. They said, "yes, come in at 6:45 am".
Sunday night we took Sammy up to my parents house for her to stay with them so she didn't have to wake up so early. Monday morning we woke up and headed out to the hospital. I got checked in and they had me hooked up and started the process by about 7:30 am. By 3:10 pm, I was finally at a 10 and ready to start pushing. I pushed for about 15 to 20 mins and Kimball made his debut at 3:30 pm. He was 8lbs. 4oz. and 21 inches long. He is the sweetest little guy and couldn't have asked for a better baby. He loves to cuddle, which I love.
It has been a bit of a struggle with Sammy, but I think things are starting to get a little better. She doesn't seem to want to hurt him as much anymore. She kind of has a love hate relationship with him just because her world has been completely rocked. I'm still trying to figure out how to juggle my time between the two of them so that she doesn't have as many of these mean spells.
Enjoy the picture, I will let them tell the story.
