well... we are now a family of five!
grayson was born august 23rd at 7:49pm
he weighed 7lbs. 15 oz. and was 20.5 inches long
he has brown hair and crooked pinkies (which means he's ours)he eats really well and sleeps like a newborn!
sure love this little guy!
the delivery:
i really wanted to have gray on the 24th because we are naming him after jordan mingo, who passed away a couple years ago, and it is his birthday on the 24th.
but i started labor on the 23rd
we went in to the hospital around 1ish and they hooked me up to the machines and monitored me for a couple hours
they talked to my dr and she said i can either go home (she knew i wanted to have him the next day) or wait until after 5 and she'd come induce me.
i was torn.... didn't want to be induced or go home.
i asked how far apart my contractions were and the nurse said 5 min.
so? why would they send me home??
dusty said, we're not leaving! let's have this baby!!!!
so, when it got a little closer i was able to get my epidural
i was on CLOUD 9! so grateful for that!!!
my dr came and broke my water to try and get things started
just before they were going to start the petocin, my nurse decided to check me
she could feel the baby's head
so she called my dr--- who was at target!
she got to the checkout and realized she'd forgotten her wallet, so she handed her things to the checkout guy and said, i'll be back in an hour!
so she rushed to the hospital and made it in 7 minutes!
basically, they put me in the stirrups at 7:45
and i had him at 7:49
i only pushed for 2.5 minutes!
i couldn't have asked for an easier delivery!
the place where it all happened...
and the actual building...
