I got up and was ready to leave for work when at 7:30, my water broke. Travis had just walked out the door and I rushed out to see if I could still catch him in the drive. He was backing out and hit the garage door button to go down. Standing in the doorway, I hit it to go back up and was waving at him frantically trying to get his attention. Well, he hit the button to go down. I hit it to go up. Again this happened. Finally, I decided it was no use, and ran in to find my phone to call him. He got out of the truck and went to see if something was in the way of the door from closing. Then stumped got back in the truck to try again!
So, after getting his attention and scrambling around to pack some things together for the hospital, we took off. Of course, we were not prepared for this and didn't even have the car seat in the car. I started having contractions, that were getting very close together. By the time we arrived, I could barely walk. I was already dilated to 5-6. Anesthesiologist no where in site. After getting to a 9, and screaming my head off, the OB Dr felt sorry for me I guess, and attempted the epidural himself. Bless him. But it didn't work right. :-( Then, the anesthesiologist arrived and took it out and gave me a spinal block. After 2 hours of pushing, and some forecep assistance, Eston was born at 2:19 pm.
18.5 inches long, 6 lbs, 12 oz. OB Dr and pediatrician said he's more like a 37 week baby. Everything checked out fine. I stayed in the hospital until Thursday evening. We're all exhausted, but doing good. He goes to the Dr tomorrow for his one week checkup.
