Almost a week Old

So let us start at the beginning. Jeremy and I went into the hospital last Tuesday night at 7:30pm to start cervidil to induce labor, my doctor would only let me go one week past my due date. We thought we would be able to get some sleep and start the Pitocin in the morning. Cervidil started things right away. They ended up taking the Cervidil out because my contractions were too close together. Jerm and I got no sleep. Sadie baby was loving it inside and didn't want to make an appearance. After pushing for 3 hours they had to do a vacuum assisted delivery. Thank goodness that worked because I really didn't want a c-section after all of that hard labor! Sadie was born Wednesday June 23, at 3:09pm. She weighed 9 pounds and 6ounces. She was 20.9 inches long. And my doctor, Dr O'Shea was amazing! My nurse Sarah was wonderful! Even my resident was really sweet. A side story on Sarah my nurse was Jerm's friend from high school, she had been on maternity leave and her first day back was Wednesday, her hours 7am-3:30pm. She stayed even after her shift! We requested her as our nurse. She was the perfect person to help me through that. She was meant to be a labor and delivery nurse!
