Moxon is Doing Good!

Hey everyone...

Here's some more details from yesterday and today...

We got to the hospital at 2:00 for check-in. They took us to our room delivery room, which smelled like pee! When the nurse came in she immediately took us across the hall to a fresh smelling room. There was some poor man that got sent to the other room to figure out where the smell was coming from! Anyway...I got all checked in and it was about 4:00 before they started in induction. I was told that this would be a long road with 12 hours on the Cirvidil and then Pitocin after that until the baby was born. At around 10:00 I got the shot of Nubane to make me "drunk" for a while. The shot was meant to make the "fake" contractions lessen so I could try and get one last good night's sleep. I ended up waking up at some point around midnight or so and called the nurse. The contractions were making me shiver and they were pretty intense. She checked me and I was only 5 cm. I decided to go ahead with the epidural and get back to sleep. The anesthesiologist came in around 1 and got things set up. By the time the epidural got working I was still having pressure pains. I was told that they'd start to go away over the next few minutes. When they didn't the nurse checked me again and I was ready to go!!! They couldn't believe it! Dr. Chung got called in and Moxon was born at 2:06 am. It only took about 10 min. of pushing. I guess I was just made for having babies!

Moxon is doing really good. He's got so much hair and has been sleeping all of the time. He has started to get the hang of nursing, but he's just so tired that he'd rather sleep! He got his circumcision tonight and we're waiting on him to come back into our room.

This morning G&G Deprisco and Chris came to visit with Joey. Of course everyone thought he was cute! Joey kept making a confused face when he looked at him, but he thought the baby was pretty cool. Mostly he just wanted to eat our snacks and play with the stuff in the hospital room. I guess he's been having a good time staying at G&G's house.

Then this afternoon G&G Sekel came for a visit. They brought Moxon and Joey some John Deere shirts. They're pretty cute, but the boys have a bit of growing before they'll fit. I hear that Sarah and Greg, Annie, Amanda, and maybe Toni and Phil and the Meyers will be here tomorrow. Uncle Ed is sick and Aunt Terri is snowed in down at school. Other than that things have been going pretty good. I think we might be sent home tomorrow evening depending on how things go tomorrow, otherwise it will be Sunday morning.

I'll make sure to keep you all updated on all of the cute baby happenings around our house!
