We waited for my mom to arrive from Port Orchard and headed over to the hospital at 7. My contractions were 3-4 minutes apart but not painful so they put me on pitosin and they got pretty painful throughout the night. I think at that point I was 75% effaced and only 1cm dilated.
At 7 that morning I received my epidural and almost passed out (oops) then started feeling better.
At around 5 we started pushing and that continued for 3 hours until the doctor decided that the baby's head was not going to come out because of the way it was positioned in my pelvis. They had the head of the OB department come in and explain that we were going to need to use a vacuum, episiotomy and perhaps a c-section before we could meet our little man. All very scary for me but after a little longer (and no c-section) Greyson was placed in my arms.
It was exhausting for everyone involved
He weighed in at 7lbs 2 oz and 18.5 inches
His first bath
He has had lots of visitors
And his grandma was with him his whole first week
Buffy seems interested but not too interested
And he played his first video game today
Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers and kind words as we have moved into this new stage of life
