4lbs 13oz
being transferred across the street to a children's hospital because of bouts of apnea secondary to me being on Mag Sulfate through delivery.
Well I was induced and gave birth at 6:06 p.m. today. I was exactly 38 weeks along. They induced me for early mild preeclampsia. Dante is a healthy 6 lb 15 oz baby, 20 inches long.
Elijah Mack born on 3/20.... older brother Harrison's birthday.. at 36 weeks. 7 pounds 1 ounce and 19 inches long and Thank God perfectly healthy. Nursing like a champion already and big brothers are in love!
Went for a routine appt but found a 3+ protein in urine and elevated BP so sent right to triage.
After being admitted doctor decided that I was mild enough to do a slow induction. Had cervadil placed with the intention of keeping it in for 12 hours and pitocin after that... Last about 4 hours when my contractions were 4 mins apart. So nurse removed the cervadil, and put me in the labor tub. 10 mins later my water broke and things got real! I intended on having a med free birth, but after 30 mins I asked for an epidural. Nurse went to check me again, and found I was at 9cm! 4-9 in 40 mins... No epidural for me. About an hour later of laboring on my hands and knees I was holding my sweet little girl. Labor and delivery was 2 hours total, my doctors and nurses were shocked... And I think I was in shock. No tearing or swelling, so I've been feeling pretty awesome. Baby is a breastfeeding champ with 2 very wet diapers and several poopy ones. No latching problems and a huge appetite like mommy.

Peter Elijah was born on March 31st at 5:35 PM weighing 6lbs 7oz at 37 weeks and 3 days.
Was in labor for 22 hours after a failed induction. Doctor asked if I wanted to stop Pitocin, redo Cytotec and start over with Pitocin again (I only dilated to 1cm after Cytotec and max Pit after 22 hours). She said other option was to go ahead and do a c-section since my body was getting even more stressed and was already close to the limit for an emergency c-section thanks to my preeclampsia.
We decided to go ahead with the c-section and within an hour we had a beautiful baby boy.
