| May 18, 2011 In front of the hospital |
I am finally getting around to posting pictures. The birth of Joshua wasn't quiet what I thought it would be. I went into work Wed morning after laboring off and on through the night. I noticed that I was leaking a little fluid when I got to work, so I made sure everything was in order and called my doctor to let her know I was concerned. My doctor asked me to go to the hospital to have testing done and she would check on me there. I wasn't looking forward to spending all day in the hospital so I went to lunch with my brother, Tyson and made arrangements with my family to help with the kids just in case I wasn't able to leave.
I arrived at the hospital around 2 or 3 and after two small test, I was told I was leaking a small amount of fluids and that they would be admitting me. I called Eric and let him know what they were prepping a room for me and that he should come over. Around 5 o'clock they broke my water. ( I think I lost 10 lbs just in water loss). Around 5:45 the nurse came in and hooked me up to the machines to monitor the baby. She asked if I would like to sit in the jacuzzi tub to relax because it may be a long night. The water was so relaxing. To relaxing. Five minutes of sitting in the tub, I was in full labor. I never thought I would have a water birth, but I wasn't prepared to get out of the tub at that point. Joshua was born at 6:00 Wed night on May 18th, weighing 10 lbs.
Here are some pictures from Joshua's first few days of life:
The boys just love their little brother!
