Eli Cullen Ceron was born at 3:24pm on Dec. 11, 2009. He weighed 8 lbs 2 oz. and was 20.5 inches long.

I was originally due on Dec 8th and since Mr. Eli didn't want to come that day, my Dr. induced me on the 11th. I got to the hospital at 9am and I was 4 cm dilated. My Dr broke my water and started me on pitocin. A few hours later, I was starting to get uncomfortable so I asked for my epidural (I didn't get an epidural with my daughter b/c I dilated too fast) but my epidural only worked on my right side so I felt everything on the left side. By 3:10pm I was 7 cm dilated and 10 minutes later I felt like pushing so my nurse checked me and I was 10 cm dilated. My Dr came into the room and I pushed through 1 contraction and Eli was born! He came so fast that I didn't even push to get him to start crowning and my poor husband missed his head coming out. So, 3 days passed his due date and 5 hours of labor, I got to finally hold my little man!!
