I'm totally slacking in keeping current on my mommy blog. Here's a quick recap since my last post.
In December 2015 we welcomed our fourth child, another boy, on Christmas Eve. My labor came on fast that morning and within 3 hours of checking into the L&D department, our little miracle baby came into this world. I had finally gotten the labor I had always wanted. Non-induced and no pain meds. I went into labor early Christmas Eve morning, woke my husband up, took a shower, then got all the kids awake and shoes on so we could rush to the hospital. I texted my mom to let her know I was pretty sure it was baby time. It took what seemed like a lifetime before the front office finished my paperwork and sent me to the triage area to be checked. It was 6:30 am when we were sent back and around 7:30 the nurse finally put me in a bed to check me. I was in active labor and already 5 cm dilated. They quickly moved me to a delivery room. The midwife asked a few questions, started an IV line, just in case I needed anything, and calmly breezed through my quick contractions. Hubby took the 3 older kids to the cafeteria to have breakfast while they took my blood work and called in for the epidural. I didn't really need it, I just wanted a break from the back to back contractions. As soon as they left the room and before I could get my epidural, my water broke and I quickly called my midwife back in. Within moments I had our baby boy.
Our fourth and final baby is almost 20 months old now. Time has flown by and he's getting bigger every day. He is so smart too. He's a little chatter box and understands almost everything that is said to him. He is such a handful, but I love him dearly.
