Macy is finally here. I say finally because we were admitted to the hospital Sunday at 7pm to do some pre-labor stuff. They started the induction at 5am Monday morning with Laura at 1 cm and 50% effaced. This whole induction thing was brought about because Laura had some blood pressure issues earlier in the week at her appointment. The hours came and went with contractions increasing in frequency but nothing really happening with the cervix. Yesterday ended up being just more time for Macy to kick Laura in the ribs. Laura had dialated to about 3 be the end of the night. At around 4:30 this morning, Dr. Payson checked Laura and discovered that we had progressed all of maybe 1 cm and was beginning to think that a c section was going to be the way to go. She decided to wait a little longer and check at around 7. Laura was all of 4cm and 70% effaced. The paperwork came through for the c section just in case one was ordered to hopefully jinx the whole c section thing. She was progressing just enough that the Dr wanted to keep things moving on their own. She was a tight 6cm around 8:30,but was 85 to 90% faced, just enough to keep her out of the "room". Our nurse checked at 10 and found out Laura was now at 10 cm and fully effaced or complete. She started pushing around 10:20 and Macy was born at 11:01am, May 12, 2009. 7 lbs 12 oz, 20 1/2 inches and a very healthy set of lungs. Mom and baby both happy and healthy. More pictures are up on Facebook. If you can't see them there, get a hold of Laura or I and we'll send some by email.
