Hello World

Our little Cole finally (he actually came 2 days early) made his entrance into the world!! I am so happy that he came early and that I am not still pregnant! Here's how it happened. Monday day I decided to take some castor oil because I was sick of being pregnant and I wanted to get this baby out. My sister in law was coming into town on Tuesday and Beegh has an externship he needs to get to so I just felt like this little guy really needed to get here. I was worried that he would come late, resulting in my sister in law already being gone and Beegh missing more of his externship. So I took the castor oil in the morning , it stayed down for about an hour and then I threw it all back up. It was horrible, totally made me feel like crap.
Other than throwing up I had my typical cramping throughout the day, but nothing more then normal... 1:30am I wake up having contractions. I stayed home as long as I could because I wanted to make sure the contractions were intense enough so I wouldn't be sent home. Since I wanted to do a vbac (I heard that the odds were better the longer you waited to get an epidural ) I figured I might as well stay at home as long as I could. Yeah I think I waited a little to long. When we got to the hospital I was a 9!!! The nurses suggested just not getting an epidural at this point and some how I agreed! So with no drugs or anything this little boy came into the world at 6:04 am. Really I have no idea why some people opt. for natural birth. I guess its cool to be able to say that I went through a natural labor or whatever, but holy crap I would not recommend it! It was crazy, I can't believe I did it.
Sharlie was a c-section and now Cole, a natural birth. Maybe with the third kid I'll get it right. At least child birth with an epidural will now seem really easy.
Anyway I know most people probably just skipped passed this whole story to see pictures. So here you go...




I love having a little newborn in our house. You can just feels his sweet little spirit.
