Jack's Birth Story

Saturday we decided it would be a good idea to have a fun filled family day in case I went into labor early. We spent the day at the pool and getting ice cream. All day I felt as though the baby had dropped. There was a lot of pressure and the baby's position felt different. I told Eric to be ready for the baby to come that night or the next. All day I felt like he was coming soon.

1:15 a.m. I woke up to my water breaking. I woke Eric up right away and felt very jittery and excited. We talked in bed for a little bit and we decided to get bags packed and ready to go. After some calls to our upstairs neighbors, my mom and the L&D nurse we headed over to the hospital. During the drive contractions started to get pretty intense.

2:00 a.m. We made it to the hospital and were ready to get things going. We were told the anesthesiologist could take up to an hour to get to the hospital. I've heard things go pretty fast for the second delivery so I didn't want to chance waiting to get the epidural and it taking forever so we told them to call him over. He showed up only about 30 minutes later so my time feeling contractions was very short. After the epidural we rested. Things were going really slow though and by 8:00 a.m. I was still only dilated to a 4. They decided to give me pitocin. By 11:00 a.m. I was dilated to a 10. We waited about half an hour for the doctor to come so I could start pushing.

11:39 a.m. After three pushes Jack Nyle was welcomed into this world by two eagar and excited parents!! We spent nine months preparing to meet this little guy and couldn't be more in love with him. Our little family is overwhelmed with gratitude for another addition.
