Caleb Ezra Moon

Our "little man" finally arrived! I must admit I was beginning to get a little bit impatient. I had been so very uncomfortable for 3 weeks that I didn't care about anything besides getting the baby out of me! I was constantly having contractions 6-10 min apart but everytime I went to the dr I was only 2-2 1/2 cm dialated. I just wouldn't progress. It was frustrating! Finally on Sept 30 I went to see the dr and I was 39 1/2 weeks along. I felt terrible by this time. It was hard to even eat bc my belly was so upset. The dr checked me and I was finally 3 cm! He then decided to send me to the hospital to have the baby monitored to make sure it was not in any distress bc of all the contractions for so long. He also wanted to see if him checking me helped me further along. At the hospital they had me walk the hall ways for an 1 1/2 hrs to see if I would progress. After that time the Dr came to the hospital to check me and I did progress to 3 1/2-4 cm!! Since I was progressing he decided to admit me, give me antibiotics, and wait 4 hrs before breaking my water. We figured if we just broke my water this baby would come flying out. So while getting my antibiotics Scott and I walked the halls for at least 3 of the 4 hrs trying to help this baby come out soon after breaking my water. At 11pm they checked me and I had only progressed to 4 cm so at 11:15pm they broke my water. I was a bit anxious bc I knew once they broke my water it was gonna start getting painful and I really wanted to do this again without the epidural. The 2nd contraction after breaking my water was intense but I did well. I knew I could do it bc I had done it with Bekah. It helped knowing I had done this before. At 7 cm I wanted to push the baby out so badly but knew I had to wait which is extremely difficult!! It wasnt long before I was 10 cm. After 2 good pushes he came out!!! 12:57 am on Oct 1!! I did it without the epidural and I must say I did it better than I did with Bekah! I knew what to expect and that helped so so much! I couldnt believe it when I saw I had a little boy! I was pretty excited once I could breathe again! He was adorable! Caleb Ezra definitely seems to have his own look but I think that about Bekah and Ryan too and some of you would disagree about that! Bekah and Ryan love their new little brother. I have a feeling this little boy will be well mothered! haha! We are now home and learning how to take care of 3 kiddos! Scott and I cannot believe we already have 3 kids! It is crazy! We are so thankful though and feel incredibly blessed! I am recovering pretty well besides some very terrible engorgement and Im a little bit sore still as well. Im just glad to be home! Caleb does not sleep at night and really enjoys nursing, but we take that as a sign of a healthy little boy and for that we are incredibly thankful!
