So what's the story?

So I am told that I need to post the story and Kroten's stats. I probably should have dont this already, but I will do it now.

It was a dark and stormy night, and all the people in the town were waiting to hear the news. ok ok just kidding. It was 7:30 am four days after the due date, our doctor had decided to induce. It was slow going and disgusting at first, they had to break my water.

This is what it feels like after your water has broken, NOT FUN!!

At about noon, I started to feel the contraction more and more and more. by two o' clock I was in so much pain that I couldn't even talk. This is when my best friend at the time, Mr. anesthesiologist, came running into the room with his scrubs on and a whole lot of drugs on a tray. I can only describe the feeling of an epidural as a hershey symphony chocolate bar melting in my mouth. My legs were starting to go numb and my body felt warm all over like I was being wrapped in a big down comforter. Moral of that short detour, get an epidural.

This is what it feels like after you have had an epidural.

At about 4 o' clock, I was dilated to a five. Apparently after nine and a half hours of labor, this was a good thing, we were half way done. This is about when the babies heart rate started dropping with each contraction. The nurse checked me again about an hour later and I was still only dilated to a five, and he was still stationed pretty high. SO... the doctor came and had the same news that the nurse did. They put me on oxygen and I was forbidden to leave my left side, I know traumatizing huh.

This is what it looks like when you wanna kill your husband for taking pictures and also for "doing this to you."

They gave us two and a half more hours, checking in on us ever once in a while. after 5 hours of no progress, at 9:30 pm, he said were doing a c-section. It was a failure to progress section. The crew was amazing, and Jared, looking pale, reassured me that it was all going to be ok, because at this point "that won't happen to me" just didn't fit anymore. We had the C-Section, and Jared watched the entire thing. They pulled the baby out, and put him back in to take the cord off from around his neck, and Kroten J Moss was born at 10:17 pm on the 28th of May.
