So as most all of you know, our little Ava was born Monday night at 6:05 pm. She was 7lbs 9oz and 20 inches long. She is so perfect and such a blessing in our lives. So far she has been the perfect little baby. She hardly ever cries and sleeps and eats well. Since both Christy and Ava are doing so well, we decided to leave the hospital ASAP. We arrived home Tuesday night at 8 pm. (only 26 hours after Ava was born!!!)
Now about the delivery. At 8am Monday, Christy's water broke. We got to the hospital and checked in at about 9:15am. They hooked her up to the monitors and checked her and she was already dilated to 2cm. Her contractions were weak and about 5 min apart so they started giving her pitosin to increase the intensity and frequency of her contractions. A few hours later they checked her again and she was at 4cm. Going into this Christy knew she wanted an epidural so she asked for it right away. Unfortunately she had to wait a little longer because the anesthesiologist wanted her to have 2 liters of IV fluid in her. They cranked it up as fast as it could go and about 45 mins later she got the epidural and then was in heaven. A few hours later she was at 7 cm and then a few hours after that she was at 10. She started pushing at 4pm and a little over 2 hours later little Ava arrived! We were very blessed that everything went so well for her first delivery. And now what everyone has been waiting for. Pictures, pictures, and more pictures!
