[could you imagine putting him back in? how did he fit?]

How did he get here you're wondering?

[[Morning Dec. 5]]
I went for my weekly appt at the Doctor. After suffering 11 days with PUPP I'd had it!! My plan was to go in and request induction. My Dr came in asked how I was doing, I told her the rash has spread EVERYWHERE and i couldn't sleep and was going insane! She then said "well lets get this baby delivered!"

[[12/5 @ 230p]]
Rodney and I arrived at the hospital to check in. First checked in with this lady who had no clue what she was doing =/ LONG story short we finally got a room and I got changed and all hooked up. I was on a fetal heart monitor and a contraction monitor.

[[12/5 @ 6-7pm]]
Nurse inserted something called Cervidil, drug used to soften cervix and bring on labor. It is a 12 hour drug so the next morning they would take it out and start me on Pitocin.
So Rod and I just hung out that evening, got hospital food and watched cable! Rod had gone home to grab me some tums and a few other things while they gave me a sleep aid [[since i hadnt been sleeping at home and needed rest for the day ahead]]
By the time Rod got back i was kind of loopy. I tried to sleep but everytime i would move the fetal monitor didnt pick up baby so every hour or so i had a nurse coming in to "find baby"
[[i was thinking good grief ive gone 9 months without this monitor what is one more night!]]

[[12/6 @ 6-7am]]
Cervidil was removed and i was given an IV and Pitocin. I had started having mild contractions on my own before Pitocin so i figured something was happening.
My parents drove up that morning with Kaitlin to be here for Logans arrival and they hung out all day...literally all day for this boy to show up!

[[12/6 @ 1000p]]
I had been "checked" multiple times by different nurses/doctors and after 14 hours I was at 2 centimeters. I was having back labor so laying in the bed was so painful, I wanted to stand and walk around because it took extra pressure off my back. Wasn't allowed to walk but I could stand. Dr. came in and told me I was still at 2 maaaaybe 3 and asked what i wanted to do. In my head I was thinking it had taken 14 hours to go no where, i haven't eaten in over 24 hours, haven't slept in how many days, i am pretty positive i do not have the energy to go another 14+ hours. Rod and I discussed and decided to do a C-Section and get this boy out!

I was brought into the operating room [[freezing cold by the way, like ice rink cold]] Dr did a spinal block. I was hooked up to oxygen, heart monitor. Nurses counting the tools they had, i was having a drape placed in front of me so i couldnt see. Doctors were ready to go and my husband was not here yet.

"Where is my husband?" i had asked . FINALLY Rod got there and as soon as he sat and grabbed my hand, Logan was here! [[they almost didnt wait for Rod]]

I saw him for like 3 seconds then they went to clean him. they were all commenting on his birthmark and all i was thinking was "oh gosh its like half of his face" haha it isnt. He has a little birth mark and his left upper chest. [[cute]]

Then he and Rod were off to the nursery while i was being stitched up and off to recovery.

About an hour later i was FINALLY able to hold my baby boy! And he was so precious and cute and tiny and perfect!


Then it was time for Rodney to go home. =( So many women were having babies that all the rooms were full and i had to share, so Rod couldn't stay.
That night i dont remember much. i do know that Logan stayed with mommy but i am not sure how i could have possibly gotten out of bed to get the booger out of his...

Anyways that is how my little boy arrived! Eventful!


more to come ...
