Izaac Birth Story Part 1

Okay here we go.. It might take me a few days to write this because i dont want to miss out on anything.


Friday March 14th- Logan and i headed to the doctor. When i hadnt changed from the last appointment, my doctor asked me if i wanted to be induced. I was to the point where i was so ready to have my baby in my arms. So of course i said YES... Sunday March 16th was the set day that i would fall in love with an other little boy. I was so excited..

Saturday March 15th- Spent all day doing what Connor wanted to do. We played min golf, games, dinner and went to Need for Speed. To sum it up our last day as a family of three was pretty amazing! I was just so excited to know that the next day i was going to have my baby in my arms.

Sunday March 16th- That night i couldnt sleep at all!!! Really i was up every hour looking at the clock to watch the clock turn 6:00am.

6:00am- Our alarm goes off and i grab my phone to call the hospital...... Told the nurse my name and she put me on hold.... Seemed like forever that i was on hold. Finally she came back on and said that they were so busy today 12 momma having babies, that i needed to call back at 9:00am to see if they had more rooms for me. Okay fine i knew i might not be able to go right in at 6:00am. So back to sleep i went..

8:30am- Labor and Delivery caclled me and asked if i would be okay coming in Monday the 17th. I guess there was so many delivery that they were short staff. I said okay and i would call them Monday at 6:00am to see if they had room for me. I was bummed but it was okay..

9:30am- Connor and i was up eating breakfast and watching morning cartoons when my phone rang. When i looked down it said Labor and Delivery. My heart dropped. Alicia was on the phone and said that she came into work to be my nurse, and wanted to know if i would like to come in and have my baby today.... UMM YES OF COURSE i do came right out of my mouth. She said perfect we have a room for you and will be waiting, get showered and ready and we will see you soon.. I think right after i got off the phone i started doing the happy dance with Connor. I ran upstairs to tell Logan. He was still sleeping and i woke him up by saying, are you ready to become a daddy to our Izaac Paul. He woke up right away with a HUGE smile on his face and said are you serious....

10:00am- I jumped into the shower to shave my legs and get all cleaned up. I remember as i was getting ready i kept rubbing my belly talking to Izaac. I was sad that i would no longer have my baby bump but i was so excited to have my little boy in my arms.

10:30am- Barb comes to grab Connor to head to Church. I told Connor the next time he would see me is when im in the hospital getting ready to have his brother. He was so excited and kissed my belly and told his brother that he loved him and couldnt wait to see him!

11:00am- Head off to the hospital. We stopped to get Logan something to eat and to grab a movie so we had something to watch while we waited. I knew i was going to take awhile so we knew getting a movie would be perfect..










11:50am- Finally got to the hospital. That drive seemed like the longest drive ever. Logan and i didnt talk at all the whole way in. I think we were both nervous. But we finally made it...

12:30pm- We got all checked in and back to our room. My amazing nurse Alicia came in and asked us lots of questions and finally got me all hooked up and ready to go. I was 3.5cm and my blood pressure was pretty high 165/68. She called Dr Stevenson and let her know i was here and ready for baby. Stevenson was pretty worried about my blood pressure, so she made me lay on my side to see if it would go down.

2:35pm- Stevenson came in to break my water. Let me tell you it was the weirdest feeling in the world!! I felt like i peed myself and i wasn't going to stop coming out. She checked me again and i was 3.5cm and 70% thinned out. They put a balloon in me to help me dilate faster and a monition on Izaac head. As soon as they left i had to pee really bad. SO Logan helped me up and as soon as i stood up a huge gush came out. It was like my water was breaking again. I felt so bad for Logan cause he was the one that had to clean it all up. I guess that is what love really is. My doctor came back in and said that i should try to move around the room. Sit on a stool, the rocking chair or bounce on the ball. So i did it all. She though it would help move labor on a little faster. Well once i moved i could feel the contraction coming on.

4:00pm- My contractions started coming along. They weren't bad at all, i was able to breath through them. But it was really weird cause it would start from my butt and work its way up to my crotch and then to my belly. It hurt cause it was really strong in my butt area. It was totally different then Connor birth..
