Johnny, November 2, 2007

Since we just started our blog a few days ago I thought it'd be fun to go back and add things from holidays and when Johnny was born. My due date with Johnny was actually Oct 28, but that day came and went and he still wasn't ready to come. On Nov 1 I had a doctors appointment and he decided to go ahead and induce me since I was almost 5 days late and nothing was really happening. So I went to the hospital about an hour after my appointment and at about 1:00 p.m. they started me on petocin. They kept having to turn the petocin up because my body still wasn't making any progress. Finally, after being there a few hours, the doctor came and broke my water, and that's when things got going. I got an epidural because the contractions actually started hurting pretty bad, and then I went from a 5 to a 10 in about half an hour. So around 1:00 a.m. I started pushing and at about 1:45 Johnny was born (8 lbs 10 oz, 20 1/2"). He had lots of dark hair and was doing great.

I could hardly breathe after I had him because it was so amazing, here's me holding Johnny for the first time. ( I know, I look really funny, but I just had a baby, I have an excuse.)


Having a baby was the most amazing experiance in my life so far, it's amazing how much you love them already when you first see them, we love being parents and are already looking forward to having more kids and making our family grow!
