Quick update

Adrian James was born 12/15/09 at 10:15am weighing 8lbs. and 20in long.

I was supposed to be induced Tuesday morning at 7, Monday night at Benihana's I started having contractions. Used Contraction Master on Corey's phone and went from 6 minutes apart to 4 minutes apart in about an hour. Showered when I got home so see if they would subside but they were coming quicker. Got to the hospital at 10pm, 4 cm dilated Adrian was sunny side up so I was having terrible back labor and his heart rate kept dropping, I caved and got the epi around 1:30am when I was 4-5cm, they then broke my water and started pitocen. Checked again at 4:30 fully dilated but baby hadn't dropped, practice pushes at 6:40-7am but baby was still too high. 8:45-10:15am pushed "for reals" and Adrian was born! Dr. cut me and I tore but recovery from that has been easy however my nipples are going to fall off from breastfeeding. He was born with a fever of 103 so I didn't get to see hold him for about 20 minutes but Corey was with him the whole time, he has a rash that we got checked out yesterday but they said it's just a newborn rash and nothing to worry about.

I'm so completely head over heels in love.

Merry Christmas!!!
