I went to my regular doctor's appointment on Monday the 27th, we did my ultrasound and non-stress test. While I was sitting there doing my non-stress test I was having contractions about every six minutes. Mean while apparently my blood pressure was a little high, they checked it three times when I was there and it just wasn't going down. So the doctor decided to check things out for himself. I was contracting but I hadn't even started to dialate yet. The doctor thought that it was too risky for me to go any longer and since I was really close to my due date anyway he decided that the best course of action was to induce me. My doctor's appointment was at 2:30 that day and he told me to come back to the hospital at 5 o'clock that same evening and we would proceed with this delivery. So by 7 o'clock Monday night we started the process. Even though I was in labor for twelve hours it actually seemed to go by fairly fast. Yes, it was painful. I had decided that I was not going to have an epidural, and stuck with my guns the whole way through. But as soon as the doctor put little Connor on my stomach, all the pain seemed to go away. He was the most beautiful baby that I had ever seen, and yes, I cried. All I could do was look into his beautiful face and tell him that I loved him with all of my heart. I plan on adding some pictures of our new pride and joy for you to enjoy.
Love always,
Vanessa, Ryan, and Connor
