OH MY CUTENESS!

POOPING IS HIS JOB!

AWE!

GRANDPA BAKER

How  touching, Andrew kept his dad's shirt and reenacted the same poses that Jim and Paula did at Gracyn's birth!  Then he gave this to Caitlin as a present for her birthday, which was a few days after Wren's birth!  Caitlin also wore her Dad's ring while delivering as a way to keep him close during this life event!

Induction Day! August 6, 2015

5:30 pm Checked by OB at office, 1 cm dilated, soft, high, posterior cervix- normal Braxton hicks contractions (3-4 hour).... Most likely due to earlier cervical check at OB's office.

6:30- admitted to hospital!

7:30- put on hold due to busy L&D! :-(

8/7/15
12:15am- hooked up to monitor and has been contracting on her own for the last 6 hours. 1cm and a wiggle (as described by nurse) and a bloody show! Calling Moodley to see how much pitocin to give. :-)

1:15 pitocin started at level 3. Will be turned up one level each hour. Next cervical check is around 5:00 am.

6:30am - dilation still a roomy 1, and they broke her water!

8:30am- loose 3 maybe 4cm dilated, 60-70% effaced, negative 1 station! Great progress for 2 hours!

9:20am- still a loose 3! :-(

10:15- 4 possibly 5cm. 70 % effaced. -1 station. Nauseous.... Getting Nubane to take edge off and zofran. Still no epidural, by chose this time!

11:25- 6cm. Cervix moved to anterior position. We are guessing she will deliver between noon and 1:00!

11:45- 6-7cm. O station. 90% effaced!... Nurse is setting up room for delivery!

12:05- 8 cm !!! Feeling urges to push- lots of pressure!

12:30 wants to push.... Waiting on OB!!!!

12:35- cervix is stretchy and thin but still an 8. Resisting urge to push!

12:50- 9 cm !!!!

1:20- 10 cm- SHOW TIME! 4 contractions, and out he came! Born at 1:38, 8lbs 1 oz, at 1:38 pm, 21 inches long. 9/9 apgars.
