It's official!!! Our son has arrived. Even though it took most of the day, the labor went fairly smoothly. The midwife came in about 2:30 and said Wendy was dilated to 5cm and they increased the pitocin. She said that she would be back in 2 hours and that we needed to see steady contractions 2 to 3 minutes apart for the labor to progress enough to start the delivery. She came back around 4:30 and checked the cervix and we were all shocked to hear that Wendy was fully dilated. They moved her around some and said we want to give the baby 30 minutes to stabilize and then you will start pushing. At 5 they realized they had turned off the pitocin and turned it back on and said we will be back in a few minutes to see if you are contracting again. They came back in and said let's do this and Wendy did a wonderful job pushing. At 6:37 our son entered the world!!
We will update more and tell about the long details tomorrow once things get settled. Our journey has just begun and we still need LOTS of prayers. He is stable and in NICU - they started the medicine that will keep his heart working properly until surgery. One of the side effects of the medicine is his breathing will stop. Basically he forgets to breath. We went to see him at 12:15 am and they are debating on intubating him. He will be transferred out to Egleston in the morning. Please PRAY! Many prayers were answered to day and we felt everyone of them... Thanks for every ones amazing support!
