Hi all! Quick update from me. After my water broke on 7/20, I went down to the hospital the following morning. Only 1 cm dilated, so we tried to kick start labor with walking and nip stim, and finally I was given some miso overnight. The next morning I was 2cm and 70% effaced, and my contractions were coming up to 2-4 mins apart, but weren't staying consistent- they'd slow down to 7-10 mins apart, then come close together again. It was over 40 hrs since my water had broken, so I started pitocin. I requested an epidural after a few hours, then my beautiful baby boy was born that evening! Caleb Patrick was 9lb, 13 oz and 20 inches long. He's absolutely perfect, and definitely was worth the wait!!

I ended up with a 3rd degree tear which is healing nicely, but haven't been able to pee. So I was sent home with a catheter in place. My little man had dropped 9 oz at 4 days old, and by day 8 he had gained 3 back. He's eating so well! DH and I couldn't be more in love with our new addition!
