He's here

So having 2 kiddos is quite an adjustment! Hence the lack in blog posts lately. Aiden Joseph is here and we couldn't be more excited or happy. On Monday, June 20th, Jeff and I went in for a weekly checkup with the doctor. She said I was already 3-4 centimeters dilated and in pre-labor. I had worked all that day and felt really uncomfortable all day so I thought that mabe my labor was progressing. She asked if we wanted to be induced that evening or the following day. I of course was ready to get this show on the road so I said that evening would be great. She arranged for us to be induced at St. Clare Hospital at 9pm on the 20th. Jeff and I went home and I showered and we packed. Then we went to my parents for dinner and to say goodnight to Cale because he was already at my parents. Then we headed to the hospital. I wasn't sure what we were in for since we had a rough labor with Cale and a spinal fluid leak from the epidural. This labor was completely different and more calm. We went in at 9, I was induced at 11pm, they broke my water at 1:30am on June 21st and I pushed for 5 minutes and Aiden arrived at 5:20am-a beautiful, adorable baby boy! There were no problems with the epidural this time, God hand-picked an amazing labor and delivery nurse for us who was amazing-I truly feel he was there and had this all planned out. The epidural actually worked well and I honestly didn't feel much of labor which was great! Mallori and Stefani were there in the room and got to experience the whole thing-pretty cool. Aiden was 8lbs 6ozs and 21inches long. He took to nursing right away and hasn't stopped eating-he's a pig and likes to eat. In his 1st week of life he gained 1lb 2oz, but this has slowed a little as at his 2 week visit he had only gained 3 more ozs, which is still great. Here are some pictures from the birth.
