He's here!!!

My beautiful baby boy was born at 11:12 this morning at 6 lbs 12 oz! After the drama of cytotec causing decels, he stabilized and tolerated pitocin very well. I immediately started having stronger contractions and a couple hours into it, I got my epidural (it was wonderful!!) There were a few more instances of his heart rate dropping so my amazing l&d nurse flipped me every which way, had me on oxygen until delivery and stabilized him. My doctor came in and broke my water to speed things up... And it definitely did! He was born less than three hours later with just 15-20 min of pushing. The cord was wrapped around his little neck and he was slightly blue but everything turned out beautifully. He's healthy and the love of mine and daddy's life :-)

Edited to add picture!
