Ethan's birthday!

Last week when I saw the Dr he was breech, so they turned him (from the outside) that night.  I was supposed to set up an apointment for this week but forgot until Monday and when I called they could only see me Monday morning.  I guess the check-up got me going cause I went into labor just on my way home.  

I promised Zoe some chocolate milk if she was good at the Dr.  I also needed groceries too, so we went shopping and I realized the contractions were only four minutes apart!  I was telling Zoe (who was pushing the kid sized fully loaded cart around) "hurry hurry hurry!"  I can't imagine what the other customers thought of my pushiness. 

When we got home and put the groceries away I tried to message Jake on Facebook (his phone was not working) but he wasn't checking it.  I had to track down his bosses phone number to get ahold of him.  

We got to the hospital around 4pm and when they layed me down to check things out, my contractions almost went away, they were so weak!  But I'm glad they let me stay, cause as soon as I stood up they were 2 minutes apart and coming on fast and strong.  

Since I was induced last time with Zoe, I wasn't sure if I was going to want an epidural so I said hold off a little bit and we'll see.  I'll spare you the details of the whole labor and tell you that a couple hours later when I was screaming for it they said it was too late!  I was going to have to push now!  Holy cow!  

He was born at 7:08 PM on Monday the 29th and what a stud he is.  8lb 7oz, 21" long, which isn't too small for 10 days before his due date!  He's got light brown hair all over.  He came out crying of course, but calmed down after being wrapped up and held.  What a sweet heart he has been.
