So my induction went great on Monday! Oh, except a little drop in my blood pressure due to a reaction from the epidural and I thought I was going to die. But other then that everything went perfectly! I started on PIT at noon, my water was broke at one and Linkon was here at 7:53 pm. He is perfect and healthy and we are so exited to have him here! Jaxon is slowly adjusting. He is suddenly very cuddly and clingy but he's doing fine. I am doing great and I am also slowly adjusting to juggling two kids. My family has helped me a lot. My sisters have been here a ton and they have been wonderful! I am so blessed to have such wonderful family close by to help me.

So this morning I woke up at 5, got showered, made sure everything was packed, got Jaxon's things all ready to go, and the whole time I had this weird feeling that I was not going to have my baby today. Then at ten to six I called the hospital just to make sure they had room for me. They told me that they had a really busy night but they would call me back in a few hours and they would probably have room then. Teresa had taken work off and her and Dad were going to come watch Jaxon for the day so I called them and told them the situation. Then I went back to sleep. My phone rang at about 8:30 and it was the hospital. Before I even said "hello" I was out of bed and started getting dressed, thinking they were calling to say "come on in!" Anyway they said that they were just too full and they had other inductions that were more urgent then mine so I was rescheduled for Monday morning. Anyway, I was really disappointed but there was part of me that was relieved! Weird, I know. The best part of this is that Amy will be here tomorrow so she will get to be here when he is born. So that's where we are, sorry it was such a long story. I guess I could have just said: the hospital was too full so my induction has been rescheduled. Oh well, there it is, the whole long story!

Save the Date

It's official! Baby #2 will be here on May 15th. (Unless he decides to come sooner which would be fine be me!) My midwives are all going to be gone the week I am due so rather then be delivered be someone I haven't met with we have opted to be induced on the 15th. I am trying to pace myself and not get too anxious but at the same time remind myself that 2 weeks is not very far away. We still don't have a name picked out. Not only do we not have one picked out, but we don't really even have an idea of a name. So if you've got a good one let me know! Anyway, that's where we are right now. Hopefully everything will continue to go smoothly and please remember us in your prayers on the 15th!
