He's Here!!!
Our newest blessing is finally here! Simon Nathaniel was born 12-29-2008 at 3:07 p.m. He weighed in at 8 lbs and 15 ounces and measured in at 21.5 inches long. He is my biggest baby and such a wonderful gift from God.

We are so happy to finally have him in our arms! He is, of course, getting so much attention from his five-mainly four of- big sisters.
I went in for my scheduled induction at 8 a.m. on December 29th. Pitocin was started at 9 a.m. and my water was broken by doctor at 1:30 p.m. At 1:30 p.m. I was dilated to 4cm. Half an hour later I was at 6cm. Around 2:30 I was an 8-9 and the nurses had me start pushing to get past that. Shortly after that I was fully dilated and doctor was there and I pushed back to back until Simon was born at 3:07 p.m.
I wasn't told until the next day that his heart rate wasn't going back up in between pushes as it should which is why I pushed constantly to get him out quickly. The cord was around his neck once-probably the cause of his heart rate not going back up.
We came home December 30 in the evening. I typically opt for a 2 day stay but most I usually have night time births too. Simon is first to be born during the day.
