We arrived at the hospital on Friday morning at 8:15 to be induced, by 8:30 they had broken my water and started me on Pitocin by 9. By 11:30 I was having contractions 1-2 minutes apart and was having a lot of back labor so I decided it was time to get an epidural! (Thank goodness for pain relief!) Once I had the epidural I was actually able to take a little nap! Things started to get a little complicated from here as my contractions were coming too close together and the baby didn’t have time to recover, when they decreased the Pitocin to slow down the contractions then they would get too far apart!

They were starting to think something wasn’t quite right and decided to do an ultrasound to see if they could figure out what was going on. To make a long story short, Gavin was trying to come out “Sunny side up” and his head was turned in the wrong direction! They decided it was time to do a c-section to get the baby out so Cary changed into his scrubs and they wheeled me down to surgery. They opened me up at 3:37 and pulled Gavin out at 3:45! Then came the hard part…the nurse took Gavin and Cary back upstairs and left me alone to get stiched up!

After spending the weekend in the hospital we were able to bring Gavin home today! He is so precious and both of us are doing very well thanks to Dad who is taking great care of both us!
We are so blessed to have a healthy, happy baby boy and can’t wait for you all to meet him!!! (by the way we have forgiven Santa for bringing Gavin a little late…he was worth waiting for!)
