Lindsey Kathleen Atwood
- We received the phone call from the hospital at 5:30am on Monday to go ahead and come to be induced. We were there, showered and all by 6:30! The kids spent the night at Bryan's parents on Sunday night. By the time we got checked in and everything taken care of it was 8am. Pitocin and all. I had not progressed from my previous visit so I was starting at a 2! I thought for sure that I would have the baby by lunch time. Boy, I was wrong. Everything was very slow moving with this baby. It would take me hours to progress to the next number! I ended up getting my epidural in the early afternoon. Everything really slowed down after that. At 3:30 or so I was only at a 4. My Dr. came in and told the nurse to turn off my epidural and turn up the pitocin!!! I couldn't believe it. So... by 4pm or a little after I progressed to a 5. And then the rest was history. I went quickly with no epidural to 9. They quickly got the epidural going again and it was working by the time to push. She came out no problem, very quickly. She was born at 6:06pm, weighing 8lbs 3ozs. She is a wonderful baby. I have as of this afternoon heard her cry 2 times for about 2 seconds each time. Once for a diaper change and once when I was changing her shirt. She is content to be held or lay in her little bed. The kids were so excited to come and meet her. Lauren now has a sister. She didn't want to share her last night, she loved holding her. Matthew and Tyler loved holding her too!
