so he is here and i am so glad. glad to not be pregnant and to be able to bend over once again. i went to the hospital at 7 am friday. doc broke my water about 730 and started to contract on my own which was awesome. it started to get uncomfortable and the anithesiologist came and gave me my epideral around 10. the nurse then started the pitocian to keep me going and at 1130 i was ready to go. with a few contractions and a few pushes emmett russell dawson was born. he is healthy and has a wonderful set of lungs. he is nursing well but has his days and nights a little backwards but hopefully soon we can fix that. we are doing well and adjusting to having a new little one in our home but are so grateful and glad that he is here. hope all are well and talk to you soon.
