It always feels kind of odd walking into the hospital without having regular labor pains in order to have your baby. I was able to shower that morning and remember everything it's actually pretty great. So anyway we got in our room and my nurse came in to get everything set up. She checked how dialated I was then and I was already 5cm dialated. She thought is was in early labor but I wasn't having regular contractions just some (what I thought were Braxton hicks contractions). Anyway that was exciting news halfway there without any pain!
So probably around 10 they started me on a low dosage of pitosin. So from then till12 I had not bad not super regular contraction ( they wanted to get my body use to the contractions). So over my midwife's lunch she came and broke my water, at which point I was still 5 cm dialated. But then the nurse uped my pitosin to get the contractions more regular. So from 12 to 1:15 I was have stronger contractions and at 1:15 I had her check me again because they were hurting bad so we need to decide if I wanted something for the pain. I was 7 cm dilated now and I decided to do th Nubian shot which just makes you more relaxed but doesn't take the pains away because I thought I would dilated fully in the next 2 or so hours. So I got the Nubian around 1:30 and my 2:45 I was in agonizing pain but feeling the urge to push. The nurse checked me and I was almost 10 cm so she had me to a trail push. But then wanted me to wait for 10mins or so. 10 mins btw when your in that much pain is a very long time. So my midwife was across the building and on call for when the nurse told her when to come and deliver me. So the next 10 mins were kind of a blur I was ready to push I couldn't control what my body was doing at this point or the sounds my mouth was making. The nurse started setting up the bed and everything for delivery while I was pushing. My midwife walks in and the nurse says "hurry put your gloves on she's about to deliver" so my midwife got there just in time to catch the little guy. I believe the nurse said I pushed him out in about 6 mins.
So he was born at 3:02pm May 14, 2014. I guessed on our way in he'd be born at 3:04pm (haha pretty close). But I was way off with is weight I guessed 7 Ib 4oz, but he came out at a whopping 8 Ib 5 oz, which is big compared to the 6 Ib 13oz Cyrus was. We are thankful to God that we had a safe delivery and a wonderful healthy baby boy.
If your wondering if Cyrus and Bryer look alike ... Here's a picture on Cyrus right after he was born. You can decide for yourself.
