Looking Back...

Just wanted to catch up on how we got to having the beautiful family we do today! So it all started on July 30th, 2008. We went to Baptist Hospital at 6:45 am for my induction. They hooked my up to the IV and started a Pitocin drip to speed my labor up. I started out that morning at 2cm dilated. Dr. Burch came to break my water around 9am. Then everything started moving pretty fast. Here is the time frame: 10:30am-got my epidural, 12pm-was dilated to 4cm, 4pm-was dilated to 7cm, 5pm- I stopped progressing, and they had to determine if Ford was just too big, or if my contractions were not strong enough. It ended up that Ford was just too big. So by 5:30pm there were a ton of people in the room preping me for surgery. They rolled my back to the OR, and by 6:01pm we had a beautiful baby boy! And a huge one infact!
