On Wednesday, June 24th Zack and I checked into the hospital at 7:30 am. They hooked me up with IV fluids and pitocin right away. The doctor came in at 9 and broke my water. The contractions started soon after that. I had an epidural at about 10:30, and out he came at 11:13 am. It was fast and easy! Much different than with Peyton... 12 1/2 hours... The doctor told us that he would be 7 1/2-8 lbs but he was just 6 lbs 10 oz and 20 inches long. He has dark hair and dark skin. He is such a stud! My epidural didn't wear off until about 4 pm so they made me stay in bed that whole time. When I finally got up, blood went all over the floor and I didn't stop bleeding for the next 4 hours. The nurses were running all around and yelling at each other arguing about what needed to be done to help me. It was crazy. I ended up needing a blood transfusion. I was given 2 units of blood, leaving me 5 units short. They told me that it would take up to 3 months to fully recover and build my blood back up. As soon as all of the blood was in me, I felt so much better. 2 days later, I was released. It's nice to be a mom to my sweet Peyton again. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and thoughts.
