Collin is finally here!!!!!!

Bev • Thu, May 28

I was admited in the hospital at 8pm on the 25th to be induced at 7am the following morning. At 9pm I was give medication to ripen my cervix. Contractions began at 12am and by 1:30am the contractions were unbearable. I called the nurse to request pain meds. The nurse checked my cervix and I was 8cm. So then everything jumped into high gear because I was ready to deliver. The doctor came in and broke my water. Then I had the urge to push. The doctor did not have time to gown up because he was crowning. After 4 hard pushes he was delivered head up which made it harder and painful. I tore and required many sutures to stop the bleeding. At 1:47am Collin entered the world weighing 8lbs and 22 inches long. I can't stop look at him, he is more than I could ever
