On September first I had a routine visit to my Ob doc. At this point I was 4 days over due and under the impression that I was not able to be induced. To my surprise Susan my doc pulled some strings and scheduled me for induction the next morning. So at four in the morning on September second Colin and I headed for Mountain View Hospital. They started me on picton at around 7am. I was on it for about an hour and they took me off to see if labor would progress on its own. As it turns out I was not progressing and they had to up the dose. By about 3pm the contractions were getting bad but I was not dialating the way I should have been. They gave me an epidural and some more time to see what happened. By 9pm I was being wheeled into the OR for a c-section. At 10:31pm my little man was born. As it turns out my pelvic structure is too small to have children the natural way. This was something we did not know with Brooke because she was in so much distress that they didn't look elsewhere. So if any more children come along they will be born c-section.
Colton weighed 8lbs 1oz and was 20in long. He had a horrible cone head for a few days because he kept trying to come down but got stuck. He is a very handsome little man and very laid back.
We are truly blessed to have a happy healthy child!
Welcome to the family little guy your in for a real treat!
