Caden made his appearance early this morning on February 15th at 12:29 a.m.! He is 7 lbs., 13.7 ounces, and is 20 inches long. He is sweet as can be and SO cute! I'm biased, of course! :)
Here's the story... Contractions started sporadically and kind of randomly at 4:30 p.m. on Valentine's Day, and at about 5:30, they suddenly became SUPER regular and changed to 2-3 minutes apart. Since it was snowing here and the roads were bad and we're an hour away, we decided to head to the hospital, rather than waiting to see if they would continue like that. Well, by the time we got to the hospital, I was pretty sure I was leaking fluid, and the contractions were still consistently close. They monitored me for about 30 minutes or so, and checked to see if I was indeed leaking - which was surprisingly painful - and sure enough, I was, so we were checked in, and things started moving quickly!! Within about an hour, I went from a 3-4 to a 6-7! We continued laboring, and the doctor fully broke my water around 11:30. I was still a 6-7 at that point, but 75% effaced, and then things really got going. Anyway, at 12:28 I told them I needed to push, and the doctor confirmed that I was ready and Caden was born 1 minute later! The doctor had one glove on, and no gown or anything...poor guy didn't believe me when I said it would be fast! :) Caden scored an 8 and 9 on his apgars, and aside from some light bruising on his face from being delivered so fast, he is absolutely perfect!! I'm doing well too, and didn't tear or anything...yay!! :) Carson loves his baby brother, and was the first to meet him. Even though it was VERY late for him, he wanted to hold Caden and hugged and kissed him. It was SO sweet! I'm so excited for Carson to get to see him again today.
They say we'll be discharged from the hospital on Saturday morning. The hospital internet blocks data hosting sites, so I promise I'll get pictures on here for you all to see once we're home. If you're desperate though, just email me and I'll send you a pic or two! :)
