Baby #2

IIt was so nice to be able to go back and read about the delivery with Kyden so I have decided to blog about this one too.

A couple weeks ago my doctor talked me into planning an induction date. I thought I was advernterous and would try to go into labor on my own. She made some pretty valid points. The one that sold me was how quickly my first delivery was, therefore if this one is quicker, or just as quick I may not have time for an epidural...yeah that got me. So we planned for May 9th. When she checked me last week I was dialted to a 2 and the baby's head had totally dropped. She decided to move the inductiond date up since we probably wouldn't make it to May 9th given my history. THey wanted to move it to May 4th since my due date was May 11th (Mother's Day! How sweet!) but since that was a Sunday, we settled for Tuesday (My doc had Monday off, and I don't want to see a man).  So Tuesday morning hit and we called at 6 AM as instructed. They had us in by 7:30! So here we go!!!!!

Dripping ky off at Grandpa's

8:00 First dose of pitocin. After signing more papers, and ordering meals Mike gave me a blessing

9:00 Contractions are getting uncomfortable and consistent. No pain at all.....yet. More pitocin given. Doc came in and said she will be breaking my water at 12. More to come at noon. 

11:00 Mike and I fell asleep but I woke up to some pretty uncomfortable contractions. Definitely don't tickle! Contractions are about 5 minutes apart. I don't have the heart to wake Mike. I will let him sleep another hour. I'm getting nervous for epidural but I know I will love the relief. 

 We got the epidural around noon

1:00 doc broke my water. 

3:21 baby Noah Michael Miranda was born 8.9 oz 21 inches :)

I'm missing a huge time gfre from when things got crazy. The epidural made my blood pressure drastically drop. I was non-responsive. They had to give me a shot to get my pressure up quick. Kinda scary. But they got me back and it was time to push. The doctor literally ran over since the baby was coming. She didn't have time to get her delivery suit on.
