The Arrival Of Tyler Craig Findley

(( Disclaimer: Below are photos from my birth))

     After being bumped from my scheduled induction on September 3rd I finally got to go in on September 4th at 7:15am.  When I was admitted I was at 4cm and having contractions on my own but they weren't getting longer and stronger.  Around 9am They hooked me up to the Pitocin and that changed everything. At 1:15pm My doctor came in and broke my water and at that time I was at 5cm. I ended up having strong enough contractions that I got my epidural at 2:30pm.  This was the most numb I have been with an epidural. They said they would come back and check me at 5:30pm, but at 4:30pm I started throwing up a lot... yay! and then I threw up some more.... the nurse came in and said I bet your fully dialated.... but  I did not have the urge to push like I have had in the past with an epidural. My Doctor came in to check on me at a few minutes to 5pm and I was in fact at 10cm. YAY!! time to push! I started pushing at a few minutes past 5pm and after about 15 minutes of pushing Tyler was born at 5:22pm weighing  8lbs 9.6 ounces and 20 inches long. This was by far the easiest and almost fastest labor.  It was nice and calm in the delivery room since it was just my family, one doctor and one nurse. It was not that way with my last two. This is truly bitter sweet being my last birth and my first BOY! There is nothing like seeing your child be born and come right to your chest. It's an amazing miracle.  I am now a mom to two girls and a boy! Praise the Lord for a healthy baby, momma and delivery! Very blessed!  My heart is full <3 !
