Oh man I am in love!
Well Friday started like any other day. I woke up to go to the bathroom and then my water broke! I wasn't sure at first, but after a min I knew it did.
I wasn't having any contractions so I just went to my doctors office for my 9:00am apt. The nurses were so funny and told me to go to the hospital. They called over to make sure I had a good room and a good nurse.
We took our time heading over because still no contractions. We cleaned the house, packed the bags and then were off.
We got all checked in and set up. I changed into my beautiful hospital gown and got all hooked up to the machines.
They put me on patosin because still not contractions. After about an hour I had them up it because I was still not feeling anything. Well 20 min later I was definitly having contractions! I got my epidural a while later and then took a little nap.
By 7:00pm I was a 10 and the doc said, "OK, you should be a mom in about 15 min!"
I was excited and we started pushing, but then after AN HOUR AND HALF Sawyer was still not coming. The doc thought that we may need to do a C-Section. While pushing my guts out (almost literally) I got sick and was throwing up (if this is too much info just stop reading :) ) Well the puking actually helped push him down a little more and 20 min later he was stuck again because he was so big. A nurse had to climb up on the bed and push on my stomach.
Then HAPPY BIRTHDAY! He was here and I was so exhausted. Dave was in shock because he didn't think he'd see so much action.
Sawyer David Dance weighed 9lbs 3oz! He was so big! I could barely hold him because my arms were shaking from fatigue.
We are so happy and in love with this little guy.

What a story!!! That is crazy! He is a GIANT baby...but thats good :) I've heard the bigger they are when they come out the quicker they are to sleep through the night because they already have more fat storage...it could be a lie, but it's worth believing, right? Anyway, I'm so happy for you three! Congrats!
