Baby boy was born at 9! 15 seconds of pushing!

@erinbaderin: good luck with your c-section!

@ksnow: Congratulations!

@erinbaderin: Good Luck!

Weston Thomas was born at 6:49, 7lb5oz, pretty mad about being pulled out of my ribcage. The cord was knotted and looped twice around his neck, which explains the breechiness.

Congratulations everyone on your beautiful babies!

@ksnow: omg 15 seconds of pushing?! So lucky!!! Congrats !!!

@erinbaderin: so so adorable - congrats mama!!!

Baby Theo arrived 10 days before due date on March 16. I had been having contractions for a week and a half so when they started Tuesday morning I didn't think much of it and went to work (1 hour commute). But they continued and I called my OB. She said could be prodomal but to head home so I would be closer to the hospital. During the drive they picked up to every 2-3 minutes so I headed to the hospital. I was only 3cm and 50% effaced so they sent me home. At home the contractions intensified so we went back to the hospital around 11pm. I hadn't made more progress but my bp was high so they decided to admit me and add pitocin. Before the pitocin they started an epi at 1am. Water broken at 1:30. The on call OB was surprised by how much water there was which could have been why I hadn't been progressing earlier. Pit started at 2am on the lowest level. At 4:15 a whole group of nurses and doctors came in because the baby's HR dropped. It was really scary because they had me on oxygen, had me get on all 4s and gave me a drug to stop contractions. turns out it was ok and baby had just dropped so low and i was already at 10cm ands ready to push. After pushing for 3 contractions total, baby was born at 4:48am. At 6lbs 14oz he feels so tiny compared to DS1 who was born 3 days late at 8lbs. We're home now and getting adjusted to life as a family of 4. DS has been so much better than expected and loves his little brother.

@sailgrl18: Congratulations! Theo is an adorable name!

I forgot to update here!
Nash was born after less than 2 hours of labor on March 21st at 4:37am. No time for an epidural because I was already at 9cm by the time I got to triage and he was born probably less than 20 min after we got to the hospital. It was crazy fast, but not as painful as I had imagined natural labor would've been. He was out with two pushes thank god!

@Loscato: congratulations!! What a cutie!
