When we arrived at the hospital, they weighed me and did a test to see if my water had actually broken. I was right!! They got me admitted and into a labor and delivery suite. I was contracting and 3cm dilated. We were defiantly having this baby today, on my birthday!!! Dr. Woolard came in to see me around 7:00. Since my water broke they did not want me holding the baby for more that 12 hours due to the increase risk of infection. They were going to set up and IV with Potocin to increase my contractions. For the next few hours nurses were in and out checking my progression while we waited anxiously. I had not had any sleep and the contractions were beginning to hurt so they brought in the anesthesiologist to hook up my Epidural. What a miracle drug!! I was able to relax and rest a little bit before the big event. After about an hour the nurse came in to increase the Potocin because I was at 8 cm and told me to let her know when I began to feel like I needed to push. It was 3:00pm and they wanted me to have the baby soon. Okay, no problem…then it hit me like a ton of bricks. Oh my gosh…it was time to have our baby!! I told Tim to go get the nurse, I was ready!! She came in and confirmed it; I was 10 cm dilated and ready to go. She had the nurse call Dr. Woolard and with in the next 30 minutes, Baby Ayden was here!!
He was so little and beautiful. Weighing in a 6 pounds, 3 ounces and 18 ¾ inches long. He had beautiful blue eyes and a little bit of light hair. He was our perfect little angel!!
