He is here!

Wednesday July 2, my parents drove up to be with Sienna while we went into the hospital to have Orion.  I was scheduled to be induced on July 5 if he didn't make his appearance before.  My parents arrived around 830pm.  We chatted and they played with Sienna for a bit then about midnight we all went to bed.  Around 115am I woke up because I thought maybe my water  broke.  I called labor and delivery and they said the only way to know for sure was to come in.  So I woke my parents up and told them we were headed to the hospital! :) We found out that in fact my water had broke but I wasn't contracting so they started me on pitocin.  I dilated slowly but I was able to breathe through my contractions pretty well.  I decided around 8 am to get an epidural.  Orion was having weird heart rate problems similar to Sienna but it didn't last as long.  I also got low blood pressure for a while and had to be put on oxygen and be given meds  to help.  Finally around 230 pm I was completely dilated!! :) I pushed only about 4 times and at 3:03 pm our beautiful baby boy was born.  We named him Orion Tyler Jewett.  He was 8 lbs 4 ounces and 21 inches long!
