After a long 30 hours at the hospital, we made it home last night at 6 o'clock. Ma and Pa and Brock made us a great dinner and we had a pleasant first evening home with the family. Here are a few of the first pics.
Wednesday at noon. Enid had a check up at 9 that morning and was already 6 cm! Get to the hospital-Doctor's orders!
Wednesday @ 5:30PM. We checked in at 1 PM and set up in the last delivery room available. It could have been a linen closet. The room was very small and sterile. No window, no shower, no frills. Enid was amazing. She labored quietly until 4 pm when Dr. Westfall arrived to break the water and check on progress--9cm! We continued to work quietly for another hour or so, then the intensity started to ramp up. The nurse got really nervous that the baby was going to come before the doctor returned. She tried a few delay tactics, but a squeezing uterus and focused mother will not be deterred! With polite disregard, we stayed the course to keep the labor moving forward. Dr. Westfall got to the delivery room at 5:18 and she was barely suited up when Theo emerged. Enid delivered Theo-no drugs-no needles-pure adrenaline-after seven or eight pushes. Theo arrived very alert and loud, revealed his gender,and immediately got to lay on Enid.
Snoozin at home.
