Here is Cooper saying HI to every one!!!!So I thought that I would share some of my child birth experience. So we went in at 8am and i was started on pitosin. Then the fun began. The contractions started a few hours later and they kept upping the pitosin. Then about 7 hours later my doctor broke my water. ok, seriously gross!!!! I mean it is great if you enjoy feeling like you are peeing on our self every time you move. lovely!!! So then the contractions got stronger and I got my epidural. Yehhh!!! Drugs!!!! The fun in this is you get to sit up and hunch over a table, lets all remember the water breaking thing that was great. So the nice doctor gives me a little pain meds to help while he places the epidural. That was a nice thought but next time I will pass. Because I am hunched over a bedside table and now I am throwing-up. Awesome!!! Alright that is over finally no pain. just kidding now the epidural wears off, so who knew that they start you epidural with one med and the maintain it with another. Well when your body metabolizes those meds differently then you get PAIN. So we get that under control and now I feel nothing not to mention I can not even move my legs, now we are talking!!! So about 10 1/2 hours into it, it is time to start pushing. So then I get to push for an hour and a half!!!!! So fun, you people that enjoy this miracle are crazy!! Don't get me wrong it is great to have a child but lets not sugar coat it. So about 12 hours after we started he was here!!! The good news was I really did not have and pains after labor. oh yes and please come in and massage my fundus, who knew you could scratch your back through your belly button. Now it is time to rest and gear up for the next bit of fun.

Its always interesting to hear labor from a first-time perspective again! :D I've never been in labor that long or pushed that long, either, so I can't empathize with you on that, but I can tell you that it's always harder and more weird the first time around. Not that it's not hard the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time, but you at least know what's coming! Cooper is adorable, I hope you're enjoying your new job as a mommy! Take a nap for me! :D
He looks more like you in every picture I see. Those darn epidurals are a crap shoot every time,but when it all works they sure are nice. I laughed at your fundus comment. Somehow they know the exact moment you can feel everything again and come to torture you again. You are a tough one to be able to push for an hour and a half, that has got to be exhausting. Oh, I'm totally with ya and how gross the water breaking is. It's a blessing that it all fades with time...which is the only way we ever agree to put ourselves through all that again. He a pretty happy baby?? How are nights going for ya? Lincoln FINALLY decided that he'll agree to sleep through the night. It was very exciting to wake up and realize it was 6:00 and he'd slept since 10:00. Never thought I'd be excited to wake up at 6:00, but it's so much better than 3:00. :-D Take care.
I love to see new pictures of Cooper. He is way cute. I love the waving picture. I hear he is a wonderful baby. That is really nice for you. I can't wait to see him in real life. I hope it will be before he is 5 years old. That is what sucks about you being so far away. Oh, well. Enjoy that baby now, before you know it he will be getting baptized.
