Stockton is here!

On Sunday Feb. 6th at 9 pm I was admitted to the hospital to be given a medication to help me dialate and to prep me for inducing the following morning. I was scheduled to be induced at 6 am on Monday morning. At 2 am I went into labor. I tried to go without an epidural but my contractions were right on top of each other with no break in between. At 4 am I decided I couldn't take anymore so I told the nurse I wanted an epidural. She said the anesthesiologist would take 45 minutes to get to the hospital. At 4:45 am I finally got the epidural and it was HEAVENLY! At 6 am Trent, my mom, and my sister in-law, Glenda, came (Glenda was my dula or birthing coach. She is an OB

nurse). At 7:30 I started pushing. At my last ultrasound the baby was in the right position but he must have turned since that because he wasn't facing down. He was facing the side. That caused my hip to be pushed out of place a little and it took alot longer to push. At about 9:15 Dr. Smith came in and decided to use the vacuum.

At 9:30 am on Feb. 7th Stockton Miner Green was born. He weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz. and was 19 inches long. He was completely healthy and absolutely perfect in every way!
