We had our baby boy this morning at 1:12am. He weighed 7lb 8oz and was 19.5 inches long. I started having contractions I thought might be it around 12pm yesterday. They started about 20 minutes apart and were about 5 min apart by 6pm. We needed to wait to go into the hospital until my mom got here to watch DD. So I lay down for awhile around 6:30 and they slowed down and then picked up again. My mom got here around 9pm and we left as she was walking in the door. Contractions about 2-3 min apart at that point. I was so ready for epidural by the time I got to the hospital, but I forgot you have to wait for the fluids so that part was hard, contractions were very strong. I started pushing around 12am and he was here about an hour later. He had his cord wrapped around his neck so they had to give me oxygen as he wasn’t reacting well to contractions and an episiotomy so they could get him out faster. He was fine once he was out but I have a bad 3rd degree tear. I almost passed out when they had me get up to change rooms. 12 hours was so much better than 26 with my DD so I’m happy about that. He is sleeping soundly next to me right now and I’m so excited he his here! DD is coming to visit today so I’m nervous about that. I was also supposed to work until Wednesday and leaving early will cause some issues so trying to figure that out.

Thanks all. Sibling time went great. DD was so excited! Boundaries may be an issue though. She wants to play and touch him like a toy. Still figuring our work stuff I contacted my boss today as I am supposed to see clients tomorrow and didn’t hear back so I’m still stressing but not much more I can do at this point.
