Baby Oliver

11:30pm First bath done and man did he like the water running on his head, he instantly was calmed.

10:45pm should be getting his assessment soon. Cute little mini treadmill should do the trick!

Pic attached still needs some bathing!

9:10pm Oliver is doing a good job being awake alert and trying to feed!

8:44pm Oliver is here! 8 lbs 9 ozs, 20.5 inches and crying with the sweetest little cry. Daddy got to do the delivery with the doc coaching. Three contractions and just a handful of pushes. What a joy!

8:33 dilated to a ten, delivery imminent and delivery prepping now!!!

8:00pm Great progress! Dilated to an 8 and fully effaced!! Looks good for today! Baby is in position zero. (I don't know what that means yet but how rude to call my kid a zero!) :)

7:20 Megan is dilated to a 5 now and 90% effaced. We are still hopeful that things will happen today. They had the Oxytocin up to 32 an then shut it off and let it clear, now it's back on and will hopefully trigger more deep contractions.

5:20pm Well a tilted cervix is slowing things down. Let's go baby let's go! Megan is doing well but tired due to the continued labor contractions.

2:45pm Contractions are continuing, nurse believes we are getting closer and should be before dinner. This kid isn't winning any races.

1:00pm Water is broken and just waiting things out. (how does water break anyhow?)

10:35am Epidural is in and going! (I love needles.... When they aren't for me.)

10:00am Oxytocin is flowing, waiting for epidural. Contractions are still occurring and are mild to moderate.

8:00am At the hospital getting checked in.

4:48am contractions slowed down, resting for a bit to make sure we are ready to go.

4:00am Contractions started 3 hours ago and are getting more regular. 4 mins apart, last about 1 minute each. Time to go to the hospital.
