Aiden Michael arrived into this world at 12:28 pm he weighed in at 7lbs 5oz and was 20.75 inches long. He was not due to arrive until 10/16 but I had extremely high blood pressure when I went to my schedule appt on 10/6 and my doctor decided to induce me. At the time I was only a finger tip dilated and my body nor was I ready for that, but like they say when it's going to happen there is no waiting. I was excited but nervous. The ran some test on me when we arrived at the hosiptal and decided to wait until 9pm on Monday night o start thining my cervix out, but 4 am on Tuesday they had to stop due to me becoming very sick of the medicine, so they waited until 9:30 in the morning to start the Pitocin, and the doctor wanted to place a monitor on the baby's head well as she did not it broke my water. By 11am they checked me and I was dialated 5cm and finally offered me some drugs, thank god I was thinking. By the time I got the epidural it was 11:20 and only lasted for about a half hour, I began to push about 12 and he came out at 12:28pm. All the pain was worth it just to be able to hold me baby. Would not have changed a moment of it. I love him sooooooooo much...
