Cashel Alan Jones was born May 1st at 3:30 am!
We were scheduled to go in Friday morning to be checked and then induced on Saturday. But lo and behold 3 in the afternoon on Thursday I started getting contractions every fifteen mins until about 6:30. Ross was thinking that it was false labor since I was still technically a week out. But they kept coming and getting very strong. So we called the Doctor, and Grandma Hopkins and headed to the hospital at 9:30 pm. My progress was checked when we got there and I was already dilated to a 6 and 90% effaced. I started freaking out because I thought I was too far along and wouldn't be able to get me an epidural. I was in lots of pain, and as the nurses later told me they could hear my pain down the hall. :) To my relief I was given my epidural about an hour after we got there. After that the progress slowed way down. And because his heart rate went down every time I pushed they let him come down by himself. When he was down far enough I started pushing and after about 10 mins he was out!
Weighing in at 9 lbs. 7 oz. and 21 1/2 in. long.
O yeah! My mom and Megan were able to be there for the occasion!! Unfortunately only one of them could stay. My mom let Megan stay in since she was there for Braden and she doesn't really like seeing me in pain. So Megan got to stay and be the camera person. Thanks Megan!! The proud parents...
Grandma and Aunt Megan...
