Meeting new friends on Thursday

Kolby Glen was born 1/22/08 at 6:34 PM, weighed 9 pounds 1.3 ounces and was 22.5 inches long!

We had been contracting off and on since Friday but started getting more serious Monday afternoon/evening because we were out shopping and then had Mexican food for supper. We had some bad weather coming so didn't want our doula to come out for false labor and risk her life... by 5 AM Tuesday morning I was just waiting for it to get light outside so I could call her! They were 5 minutes apart. After I called they went to about 3 minutes apart and by the time we left for the hospital at 10AM they were 1 minute apart! When we got to the hospital we were 7-8cm dilated and some of you know I had an emergency c-section with Kyle so the plan this time was a natural delivery(VBAC). 5 hours later we had made no progress and it was because he was turned facing forward and his head was tilted. We made the decision to do a c-section because there didn't seem to be any hope of him getting out and after the c-section that was confirmed. He was so wedged into that position that it took 3 tries for the doctor to get him out! The other reason I'm glad we didn't wait longer is because he was so sore (head and body) that he hurt when we touched him for several days. So, we are recovering from the surgery, Kyle LOVES his baby brother, Del has a touch of a cold or something so he's under the weather and we are VERY thankful that my Mom can be here to help us! Of course, she is providing too much opportunity for laughs which is killing ME but we are having a good time! :)
