Cody James was born May 28 at 9:53 PM... after 24 hours of easy (epi) labor and 3 hours of torturous pushing. I went into labor on my own late afternoon on Tuesday. No induction! Although I did eventually have pitocin. I had a hard delivery, could not get him past my pelvic bone. They needed the vacuum - but eventually - there he was.
He is perfect...weighs 7lbs 12oz and is 21 inches long. He has strawberry blond hair and blue eyes.
We are thrilled and hope to take him home tomorrow.
I feel ok, just sore. No blood transfusions needed! And - my pain from the previous adhesions - G O N E !!!!
Scott is sleeping (was a great leg holder & coach) and I am waiting for them to bring Cody back from his bath.
I find it very interesting that as soon as appointments for induction are made, labor starts progressing. It is now the middle of the night on the 27th and I am wondering if Cody may appear before Thursday and without Pitocin. Stay tuned....
