He's Here! He's Here!
And he is already 2 weeks old! I can't even believe it. I was scheduled to be induced on Monday the 12th. I was totally for it. With Easton I had to go in the night before, but this go around, I was already dialated to a 2 and 70% effaced. So I called in at 6:30am and they told me to come in at 8:00am. Chantel came to stay with Easton and off we went to the hospital. I just kept thinking...I can't believe next time I see Easton he will have a little brother. We got checked in and got my IV started. Randon settled in to read a book and I just hung out and watched TV. They started the pitocin around 10 and I was so excited to get things goin! I wasn't feeling much but my nurse told me she was going to get me the epidural before the anesthesiologist went to a C section. So I got my epidural early and spent the day hanging out, dozing off and eating slushies and ice chips. And here I am suffering through a particularly painful contraction.
Oh wait. I had an epidural. Har har. This was more like it... quite pleasant actually.
I think it was around five that I was finally dilated and effaced. By the time everything was ready and my doctor was there I started to push and fifteen minutes later he was here!!! Labor this time compared to Easton was a dream. I couldn't believe he was really here. (Sorry for the blood on the head and the one leg pictured spread eagle. It's all good, people.)
He was 7lbs 14oz and 19 inches long. We decided on the name Luke Randon Russell. I was so excited to have Easton meet his new brother. He was so excited and Chantel even took him to pick out a little gift for him. So sweet! (Why does my expression look funny? I'll tell ya. Because I burped .5 seconds later. I'm nothing if not ladylike.)
We just love little Luke. He is the sweetest little thing. And my recovery has been so much better. Love it!
