Szymeon Carson is here :)

Well folks... its been a long wait but we are no longer team green!! Our precious miracle, Szymeon (pronounced Sim-e-un) Carson arrived 1.11.12 via c-section at 4:36 p.m. He weighed 5 pounds 11.7 ounces and was 19 inches long.

I was induced at 41 weeks at 6 am. They broke my water around 11 am. At around 1 p.m. i was still only at 3 cm and 65% effaced. They decided to put me on the exercise ball and immediately baby's heartrate dropped to around 60BPM. They put me back in bed, gave me oxygen, stopped pitocin. Within an hour things had settled again and they restarted pitocin. I got up to use the restroom and after returning and getting all the monitors plugged in again baby's heartrate was back to around 60. Again we stopped pitocin and received oxygen. About 3 pm the doctor decided my baby did not like labor and we opted for c-section asap rather than wait it out and end up there anyway. At 4pm we prepared for surgery and voila baby Szymeon arrived!! During the c-section, it was discovered that  #1 my pelvis is VERY small and most likely his head would not have ever passed through and #2 when they broke my water, the cord was compressed and got wrapped around the baby's hand so when i moved, he was squeezing the cord (thus the hearthrate drops).

Although it was not the birth I had imagined, my baby boy is here and perfectly healthy and I could not be more in love!! He is absolutely perfect! He is nursing like a champ and is an excellent sleeper so far! At his one week check-up he weighed in at a whopping 6 pounds 4 ounces!!
