Aiden Michael birth story!

rkrichey · June 2016

Aiden Michael was born on Monday, June 20 at 7:25pm. 7lb 9oz, 20 inches long. My smallest baby! His brothers were 8lb 8.8oz and 9lb 3.8oz. I was induced at 39+3 due to the size of the first two babies. So to have such a little guy is a change! I have nothing in newborn sizes so I've had to make a few emergency clothing runs. Lol. The induction was long and frustrating. Started at 7am with cervadil which did nothing. At 12:30 my dr broke my water. Still nothing. At 2:30 pitocin was started and I slowly dilated about a cm an hour. Slowly enough that my OB's shift was over and I ended up delivering with a different Doctor. At that point I didn't care who delivered the baby as long as it meant he was out. At 7:20 the nurse said to give a practice push to see what happened. She immediately told me to stop and called the dr in. Two pushes later, one for the head and one for the shoulders, he was here! He has a sweet head of black hair which is new to me bc my other two boys are totally blonde. He's a good baby but nights have been rough. I haven't had more than 1-3 hours of sleep since Sunday night and it's catching up to me. I'm not able to latch him on for breast feeding so I'm pumping as much as I can which is exhausting. Supplementing with formula, too. But all in all, things are going well! I wish all of you the best with your pregnancies and I'll still be lurking to see what's going on with everyone!
