Mason Chase Davis!
Thursday December 10th was a long day, beginning at 3:30 in the morning when I woke up having some regular contractions. Up to this point, I had only had a few each day. So I told Chase and we headed to the hospital. After being assessed and only being 1 cm, walking the halls for an hour with no progress and being assessed some more, we thought they were going to send me home. Luckily, my doctor came and since I was over due she said, "let's have a baby today!"
Labor was interesting! I was admitted around 8:00 am and shortly after given Pitocin and then an epidural. I was progressing at the speed my nurse thought I should be until I reached 8 cm around 6:00 pm. A couple hours later, still at 8, the doctor came in and told me he didn't think I would go any farther and thought I should have a C-section. This was not what I was expecting and I think I jinxed myself because I told Chase many time during my pregnancy that I DID NOT want a C-section! Something about it scared me to death. I also knew that I wasn't thrilled with the idea of laboring any more, so after some discussion we went ahead with the C-section. It was a really strange experience but definitely not as bad as I was expecting. Chase watched the whole thing and I just felt it. My nurses couldn't believe I wasn't constantly on pain killers afterward.
I got to see him briefly over the curtain and then they cleaned him up and checked him out.
Such a sad face!
Holding daddy's finger.
We had an awesome nurse that took lots of pictures for us, like the first kiss.
Look at those chunky legs!
Getting a good look at him.
He weight in at a big 9 lbs 4 oz and 21 inches long! I guess that's why I wasn't progressing, this kid was too big for me!
Mason decided to come at a good time. My sister was able to see him before she left! He loves his aunt Tara!
The first grandchild for my parents!
The proud dad.
He's been a really good baby, very easy going and content. We're still working on the eating thing though, but he's a trooper and very patient. We were released this afternoon and he's so fun but it's still kind of hard to believe he's really ours! We're in love!
