William "Will" Thomas has arrived. He arrived on May 28th at 3:56pm weighing 7lbs6oz and 20.75" long! We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Mont Ne Chicken with some of our family before we said "goodbye" to Caroline for the night. We went home that night and "tried" to get a restful, good night of sleep before our alarms at 3:30am. We checked into the hospital at 4:30am. We were a little early because I specifically remember looking at the clock and being in the hospital bed at 4:30am. This induction was so different than Caroline and a MUCH better experience. I don't know if it was because of being a second baby or because I got my epidural super early. Ha! The only bad thing was not being able to eat. And I'm pretty sure the main topic of conversation in the room was about food the whole day all the while I couldn't eat! The morning was pretty slow and uneventful. After going through a couple bags of fluid and getting the pitocin started, I got my epidural around 7:30am and broke my water around 9:30am. After lunch time is when the pitocin had been bumped WAYYY up and things got to moving! At 2:55pm, I was at a 6, and then a new nurse came in at 3:10pm or so and things went so fast she never left the room until after Will was born. I was feeling so much pressure at 3:15pm that I had her check me {she wasn't planning on checking me again until 4pm, ha!}. I was at an 8, and she informed everyone to prep the room for delivery. WHOA! I lost it, we were about to have a baby. And about 10 minutes later, I swear he was about to come out, I told her she needed to check me and it was time to start pushing. We had to wait on Dr. Terry before we started pushing because he was so low. I pushed through two contractions, and Will was born. We are so in love with this little boy!
