Collin Gene is Here!

We ended up having to be induced on Jan 7th because of Pre-E so we went in at 8am everything was up and running by 10am. Contractions started right away and everythign was going great. We got to about 4cms and we were 8hrs in when I got my epi. Which was amazing since I needed to sleep.
They were uping pitocin every 30 mins. We got to 22 with that when he started showing signs of stress. So they pulled the pitocin and took a 30 mins break. Then started back up at 6. he was doing good so my nurse upped it 2 more and wanted me to change positions a bit. So we were doing that when my dr came in to check me and she just said no this isn't working and that we would need to have a C-Sections so all of a sudden I was rushed away and DH met me in there. It was kind of cold in the room so I was shaking and then they started more pain meds and the shaking only got worst. I just couldn't even control it at all. They started working on me and I could feel everything so as they were pushing more pain meds. Which was not fun but before I knew it we were being told that the baby was out. Collin was here they cleaned him up and brought him over to me and it was amazing to here him crying. They had DH take him back to the room while they finished up and I met them back there.

I still couldn't stop shaking so they put a blanket warmer on me but that wasn't the problem. It just ended up being the pain meds and my reaction to them. But before I knew it I was done shaking and we were enjoying our sweet baby boy.

Collin Gene was 6lbs 7oz and 19inches long born at 9:35pm on January 7th.

So far we're doing great and I couldn't be more happier! My recovery from the C-Section is going great and I feel wonderful which is more then I expected.
