So we're sleeping nice and sound on Thursday morning when at 6 the phone rings. We had a doctor's appointment the day before and Christina was already dilated to 4 cm so the doctor said that they could induce Christina the next morning so the phone call wasn't entirely unexpected. We were just thinking it would be closer to 8 than 6. Anyway they said that they could get her going if we got there by 6:30 so we hurried and got ready and drove to the hospital. It was a little weird going to the hospital without any labor symptoms at all. Once we got there, we had Christina change, and the nurse got her ready for the labor. Christina was scared of the iv but it turned out she didn't mind it too much. They started the oxytosis on her at about 7 ish and then the doctor came and broke her water at about 8 to help speed up the labor. By about 9 O'clock the real contractions started to hit her. She was in a lot of pain and repeatly said, "I can't do this anymore." She was great though and strong until she was able to get the epideral in. By the time the anesthesiolegist arrived and they had the epideral in her, it was about 9:45. By 10 she wasn't really in much pain anymore. The contractions kept on coming and just after noon the nurse came by to see how she was doing. To her surprise when she went to check her cervix, Jackson's head was peaking. She called the doctor and then practiced pushing with Christina. Jackson was in a hurry to get out of there. She had to stop pushing and wait for the d
octor to get there. Once the doctor was there and after 5 minutes of pushing, Jackson came without any trouble at all. All the nurses were surprised at how quick everything for Christina's first baby. She did such a good job. Jackson didn't hardly cry at all after they got him out. He cried a little when they gave him his shot. He cried a lot more though when they gave him his bath. He didn't like that at all. All in all though everything went great. He was born at 12:39 pm and was 7 lbs 6 oz and 20 inches long. He's the cutest baby in the world. We love him so much.
