We are living with grandma and gpa Claybrook invmissouriwhile daddy is in agent training. He has been gone since February. You were due on May 26tg the day after Memorial Day. We found out daddy would have Memorial Day off so I decided to get induced with you Saturday may 23rd. We were not sure we would make it as you were so so low and I was dilated to 2 and 70%effaced when I was 36 weeks along. The next week I was at about a 3 and 80% effaced and stayed like that til I was induced. You moved around SO much inside of me I did not get much sleep at all. I also had the worst heartburn with you up until the very end. The beginning of the pregnancy was scary. All the preg tests were coming up negative. So they sent me to do blood tests and I had to do those every other day for a few weeks. I was actually scheduled to have a d and c the weekend we thought I was preg. So with all the nwgatice tests it was a good thing I really thought I was pregnant. Then at about 8 weeks in I thought I lost you. We had just take. Our family photos and we got back home and I went to bathroom and there was a lot of blood. It was a very scary and sad time . We hadn't told anyone I was preg yet and gpa stokes and Tyler were at our house that weekend. We went to doc next day and had more tests done and ultrasound and things still looked okay. I just took it really easy the next month. Which I still bled for lil while. I wasn't as throwing up sick with you as the others but we moved when I was about 26 or 27 weeks along. And that causes contractions. And had to travel three days to get here. And then find a new doc for you and me. Check out hospital and be here without all our atuff.
Jake flew in Friday night and got in at about 2:00 am we then had to leave at 4 am for hospital. Jake came right in an crashed. I was up all night. You were my biggest mover. You moved so much it kept me up. It would hurt when you moved so much and you also got hiccups SO MUCH inside me. So I was up all night anxious for daddy to get home and then to meet you! I was very nervous. I have not responded well to epidural sand just have had harder time recovering before. So we left and it was very strange to be driving to hospital not in full on labor. I had had a few contractions that morning and think I prob would have gone that day anyway even if we didn't get induced. We got there and were the only ones there. They started the pennisilin at about 5:30 because for first time I had group b strep. Then at about 6 they started me on pitocin. It was really hard to try and get any rest even though I was completely exhausted. Then at about 8:30 they came in to give me epidural I was at about. 4 I think maybe close to five. I really can't say and epidural a but they do help so much with contractions. It hurt really bad and I could t stop crying then shaking. I got the shakes pretty bad. Then my mom came and I tried sleeping since I wasn't feeling to much. I had a ton of blankets on me. Then at about ten the doc came in to break my water. At what a 7? I can't rember. Then gpa came in. Then at 11 something I felt a lot of pressure and like I needed to push. They got doc in and ready then started pushing around noon. You definitely took longer to push out than your big bro and you hurt more than pushing him out. I'm wondering if it's cuz you were induced. Then at 12:20 pm you made your appearance and while I was pushing you out daddy said you had a lot of dark hair! You were 7lbs 11oz and 20in long.
