Sorry it has taken so long to post.... life is a bit BUSY!!  LOL

I don't have pics uploaded yet-- so you'll have to just imagine the cutest 9lbs 15 oz little boy you have EVER seen!!   (at 21.5 " long)

He was born on 9/29/09 at 7:58pm....

I was infact induced-- but nothing like previous ones!! 

At 11am they put some gel (forget the name) on my cerv$x to help get things going-- and that was ALL it took to get things going.....

I spent most of the day in bed (monitored   ) and the rest of the time in the JET TUB!!  Ahhhh   This is my first time spending time in the "tub" (due to the pitocin I am usually receiving) and can I just tell you it made ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD!!    I actually fell asleep SEVERAL times in the tub (during labor)!!!  WOW!!   THAT is the TICKET!!!

Then at 7:00 the Dr. came in (shift change-- but this is by far our 2nd favorite dr in the practice).... and he broke my water (w/o warning....) and then they wanted monitor me in bed for 30minutes...    OUCH--that was tough-- then they thought-- they'd give me one more bag of IV (for strep B)  which took 20 minutes...  This did make me ANGRY-- because I KNEW how much nicer I would be feeling if only I COULD GET OUT OF THAT BED!!!    But-- if you do the math-- after that 20 minutes-- BABY WAS HERE!!!

So I did go ALL NATURAL (as far as pain)--- and looking back NOW-- it wasn't THAT bad-- there were like 10 minutes that I lost my mind (literally) and then--  Ah hem--  3 PUSHES later he was out and HERE!!  (yep-- I don't know how that happened--  Rebekah was like 3 pushes too) but I can tell you not having an Epidural-- made pushing SOOOOo much more effective-- and it FELT GOOD (compared to laying there thru contrax)-- 

So he is here--   I did have a bit of bleeding drama later in the night and there was some talk of a D&C but thankfuly by 8am things were back under control....

Nathan on the other hand is healthy as a horse-- and eaing VERY WELL!!   Those of you who know me well KNOW I struggle VERY much with feeding my babes--  but I AM DETERMINED this time-- and even when he looked a bit jaundice 2 days ago-- we pushed thru and he looks FINE now...and is giving me yellow BM's and wet diapers-- so we'll continue ahead!!!

Well I better get going-- it is time to wake him for a feeding- 

Nathan at this point is a tie for my most CONTENT and HAPPY baby-- even when awake-- he barely EVER cries-- he is just happy to sit and be held-- or even lay in the bobby and look around.....  VERY content-- just like Zachary was!!  (I think we deserve it after little Beka-- whewwww she is still a screamer!!  )
