I can't believe that I've not posted in so long. I have had the time.
To back track (a lot)--I was planning to have a baby on Nov. 1st. The last week of October I didn't feel well at all and knew I would feel better if the baby just came. I had an appointment on Tue, but the doc didn't say we should go ahead and I still wanted a November baby. So I made another appointment for Friday October 26th. Chris came with me to that appointment. The doc said we could go that day, but it would be scheduled and therefore after hours, I would need another doc. Or we could have the baby on Monday which worked better for Chris. I was torn, so the doc said to go to the hospital and we would check the contractions and let the baby decide. I felt a couple of contractions but none after I was being monitored. I told Chris that they were going to send us home and I would have to wait til Monday. No sooner than I had said that the nurse came in letting me know that I was having contractions every two minutes with variables. We were not allowed to go home. We needed to have the baby as soon as possible (which meant my doc would be there). But that was a busy baby day. I had to wait until there was a room available to have my c-section in. In the mean time they were trying to get an IV started and had much difficulty. I had 5 bruises after three separate people poked at me. Everything else went fabulously! I had a beautiful baby boy that filled me with such joy and happiness and also fulfilled my family. His name is Cole Jacob Soost (often called CJ) born on October 26, 2012 and weighed in at 8 pounds and 9 ounces and 20 inches long. The little stinker though at the time of discharge (literally, we had the van packed and ready to go) the nurses did one more set of vitals on him and he was cold 96.5. We were not able to go home. He got two days of IV antibiotics before he was able to go home. But he warmed up and we went home on Halloween.
