Instead of being induced like I was the last two times with the other boys, this labor was all natural and somewhat eventful! It was such a great experience. I had two false alarms where I went to Labor and Delivery, to then come right back home due to false labor. Finally last Monday my real contractions started. They were weak at first, and lasted the whole day. I went to bed still having them, and woke out of my sleep at 2:30 with more intense pain. I told Mark not to call his mother, that I would drive myself to the hospital because I didn't want another false alarm. Ha! As I said that I was doubled over in pain! Mark laughed and immediately called his Mom. We made it to the hospital around 3:30, and I was getting my epidural about 30 minutes later, already dilated to a 4!
My wonderful husband gave me a push present while we waited!
Then just a few hours later our precious little boy arrived. I only pushed twice!
The boys were wonderful! They were very excited and loving towards Zander. I couldn't be happier!
My hospital stay seemed so much longer since I had him so early in the morning. I was definitely ready to come home. It was bittersweet - because I pretty much know this will be my last time to do this!
This little munchkin likes to sleep with his mouth open. Its just adorable
Zander didn't enjoy his first bath, but the boys sure enjoyed watching!
