Happy Birthday Oliver!!!

My sweet baby boy Oliver was born May 14, 2010, 7:59 a.m. 7 lbs, 11 oz, 20.5 inches long. My Dr ended up doing a C-section......so much for all the hypno birthing classes : ) Once inside the Dr said she was very happy she made this call because there was a large vein running through the placenta near the cervix that she would most likely have hit if she would have broke my water that could have caused a real emergency situation. I truly believe everything happens for a reason. My main goal was for the safety of the baby, not a natural birth. They all commented how unique my placenta was....they have never quite seen one like this. It was heart shaped. Maybe a symbol for all the love I have already for the little guy!!!

Almost there.........

Well tomorrow night at 8pm I will be admitted to the hospital to begin the induction process. I am currently 70% effaced, so they need to give me some medication tomorrow night to get the process moving along overnight for a Friday induction. It is a full moon tomorrow night, so anything may happen. After this stuff kicks in, it may be enough for my body to move along the process itself. Should prove to be very interesting.

Oliver was a good boy and followed the plan (although there has been a lot of concern over the last week he would come early). Tomorrow mom and I are doing a spa day....massages, manis and pedis!!! I am very much looking forward to this.

It is really hard to believe the day is almost here and in (at most) 48 hours I will be meeting the love of my life : )
