PIP: Harrison is 10 days old (today was my due date!)

pensparade · April 2012

I have been so busy with life that I haven't been here to update or post a picture but Harrison Peter was born 4/10 at 10:58am weighing 6lbs and 8oz.

My water broke at home in bed (gush!) at 2am. We were at the hospital by 3am (after a good shower!). I was already 3-4 cm which was great because with DD I was stuck at 1cm for hours. By 7am I was admitted and given an IV. Around 8 or 9 I was put on pitocin since the epidural decreased my contractions. And he arrived before 11. I pushed through three contractions and he practically came flying out. It was crazy. I can't believe how amazing the epidural was (since mine never worked with DD) and how fast he came out (less than 10 min pushing vs over an hour with DD).

It was a pretty great experience except he has had some small complications. One being that he just isn't gaining any weight. It's been pretty stressful and I'm not really sure what the next step is. They just want to keep checking him.

I have the whole story and pictures at my blog (see link in sig)

Here's a couple for now though
