Baby Davis arrived 2 weeks early, I'm still in shock I went into labor this early.

Short birth story (I'll post a long one later)

Thursday, March 19, 2009

9:15 p.m. - water broke

10 p.m. - doctor called back, said take your time but get to the hospital, so I showered, dried my hair, put on makeup, packed up our bags

11:30 p.m. - got to hospital, tested water, it was def broken

12 a.m. - got to my room, started me on cervadil

4 a.m. - cervadil came out, i was 1 cm, gave me morphine, contractions are painful

6 a.m. - still in lots of pain, more morphine, morphine did nothing

8 a.m. - 2 cm, almost 3 cm, so started receiving the Epi and had one tiny, tiny does of Pitocin (ended up not need it so they stopped after like a drip)

8:15 a.m. - pain free

10 a.m. - dilated to almost 6 cm

11 a.m. - dilated to 8 cm

12 p.m. - dilated to 9 cm

12:45 p.m. - intense urge to push, called OB, got ready, started pushing at 1 p.m.

1:31 p.m. - baby Davis makes his debut

It was amazing, painless and perfect.  I loved every moment, they put him on my chest, I cried.  My placenta fell out in seconds after delivering.  I do have a 2nd degree tear which the doctor stiched up in about 10 minutes, that wasn't so bad.  It was so easy though, pushing was nothing, I made no noise whatsoever, never whined or anything.  It went so well.

Booze, it's what's for dinner imageBaby Birthday Ticker Ticker Birth - 7 lbs. 7 oz., 20 inches 1 Month - 9 lbs., 5 oz, 21 inches 2 Months - 11 lbs., 4.5 oz, 23 inches 4 Months - 14 lbs, 1 oz, 26.5 inches 6 months - 16 lbs, 1 oz, 28.75 inches 9 months - 18 lbs, 6 oz, 29.25 inches 1 Year - 21 lbs, 6 oz, 31 inches 2 Years - 28 lbs., 37 inches
