Price is here!
Price is here! We had to wait for the doctor to arrive before i started pushing. Once she got there I only had to push 2x before Price made his appearance! He arrived at 8:30am Saturday the 8th. He weighed in at 8lbs 2 oz and was 21 inches long. Pictures to come.

The process begins...room 101
We got to the hospital around 10:30pm Friday night. She checked me and i was still only 1 cm dialated. Sooo they had us walk the halls for a little over an hour to see if my contractions got stronger and i dialated more.
She (nurse Ginger) checked me at 12:30 and i was still a 1 (with a little wiggle room). She called they doctor and they were going to send me home with some tylenol with codeine and a sleeping pill.
However, while she was talking to the doctor i had a super strong contraction that ended up breaking my water. when Ginger came back in i mentioned that i had a sharp pain and didn't know if my water broke (i feel like the boy who cried wolf in the "water breaking" department).
She didn't really say anything so i didn't push it. When she came back in again i had moved and felt a lot of "gushing". Bruce checked me and "didn't know what to look for". I had Ginger check and she did the amniotic test and sure enough...ruptured membranes (aka "broken water").
Unfortunately it was tinged green which means it has meconium in it, which means baby Price decided to take his first poo poo while still in my uterus.
Needless to say we are NOT going home now to take a nap. We're here for good. I now have a catheter in my uterus to flush saline in and "thin out the meconium". I also am hooked up to an IV. (i forgot how much i hate that part).
Anyway...that's all for now. I'm sure no one is even awake right now (except Christy in Norway) to read this entry. so by the time you are crawling out of bed on your relaxing saturday morning Price could have made his appearance.

Off to the hospital!
So we went to dinner at 6 pm and i started having contractions, but they were more like 10 minutes apart. (btw dinner was delicious...my mom took us to "the Porch" and i had beef stroganoff and then berry cobbler for dessert)
Then bruce and i went and saw a movie ("Rocket Science"...i wouldn't recommend it). During the movie i had contractions every 5 minutes lasting for 30 sec to 1 minute then they got closer after an hour. They were 4 minutes apart...anyway we called the doctor and she said might as well come in and get checked out.
stay posted!
