Birth of Michael

This was the easiest birth EVER! I was having mild contractions starting Friday evening and they continued Saturday but never really came close enough together. But by Saturday night I knew by the pain that it was time. We called Joe and Drew and they were kind enough to take care of all our other kids while we went to the hospital. At the hospital they observed us for a hour to make sure we were in labor and then put us in a room. I could also tell it was going to take a while to dilate to a 10 so I decided that I was going to get an epidural right away. This turned out well for me. I couldnt' feel a thing! I didn't even feel pressure. It was GREAT! Once the doctor broke my water I went from a 7.5 to a 10 and the baby coming by himself in 1/2 hour. When it came time for the big event the Doctor told me that I didn't even have to push!! Michael came by himself with a little help from the doctor at 2am on Sunday. Don was the first person Michael saw when he opened his eyes.


Before the main event.WELCOME MICHAEL!






I am not usually a fan of male OBGYN's but he was great.
