December 21, 2009! 7 lbs 10 oz, 20 1/2 inches long

Baby Gavin is here!!!!

We had a false alarm Sat. am (the 19th) at 2:00... we went to Kaiser because contractions were so steady and getting stronger...but it was a false alarm. Gavin wasn't ready yet. I was dialted to a 2 and 50% effaced for 2 weeks. Having contractions the entire time was the most frustrating thing of all. I was constantly wondering "Is he coming?" But I went to my parents house Sunday the 20th and contractions got stronger and stronger, I knew he had to be coming soon. So MikE and I went back to Kaiser and they started monitoring me. I was still at a 2 but since the contractions were so close together and strong, they decided to keep me through the night. At 8 am on Monday morning I was finally at a 4. They admitted me and started the epidural right away. It was just a few hours til' I was at a 10. I thought this is great! I was feeling really good wondering why I feared this moment for so long and it wasn't that bad... not until they told me to PUSH! Wow this was time well waited for. It was intense...words cannot describe! I pushed for 3 1/2 hours. Gavin was stuck and cord was around his neck pretty good. But after much work he came out!!! YAY!!! I found out later that protocol for pushing is to not exceed 3 hours and if you do then they are to do an immediate c-section. But at the same time their were 5 c sections going on and no doctors available to perform one on me. What a blessing that my midwife was so sweet and had more confidence in me than I had. Gavin had to come vaginally! I'm so grateful that after dialating fully and pushing that I didn't have to recover from a c section and vaginally! Well, for 9 months I wondered what my delivery story would be and well there it is! But Gavin is worth every push! He is A-Mazing!

I'm sooo behind on my blog!

Christmas was amazing this year! Knowing that a baby was soon on his way, we didn't think we were going to get a Christmas tree... when we heard a knock at our door... our good friends Kip and Sarah Brought us our first Christmas tree ever. So Magical!

I'm about 7 1/2 weeks!

So, I get a huge bonus working in the ultrasound field! I scan our little baby everyday I work! Today is the first time that it has a shape that most can identify (a peanut). Sure, it all makes since to me...but hopefully it does to you too! The baby is tiny; measuring today at about a centimeter and a half! Everystage of our creation is phenomenal! I'll keep posting each week to see how the baby grows and developes!
