Ezra Bennett Hillman arrived yesterday 10/02/2009 at 8:26pm. Weighing in at 7lbs 80z and 19 3/4 in long! He is perfect in everyway. Finley is so in love with her baby brother, she loves to hold him, and give him kisses.
We arrived at the hospital yesterday morning to be induced at around 7am. By 9am they started me on Pitocin and let the contractions do their job. Once I hit 3cm at about 11:45am my dr. came in and broke my water and then turned up my pitocin. The nurses continued to give me a Iv pain med every two hours. They kept increasing my pitocin and I labored this way until about 6:30pm. Finley wanted to come visit and I decided I was in too much pain and only being dialted at 5cm I needed the epidural. Which was fantastic and definitly helped with the pain. I was still able to feel pressure but it was tolerable, and this made it easy for me to visit with my parents, sister and Finley for awhile. Until I started to feel a lot of pressure and decided to call my nurse in to check me and I was fully dialted, not even an hour after the epi! My nurse had me do one practice push, which brought babys head right on down. She told me even though I felt like I needed to push I had to wait for my dr. Once my dr. got in there not even 5 pushes later did little Ezra enter the world! Perfect and healthy! We are both doing great and are home resting!
