Thanksgiving Blessing!

Finally home with our little turkey!

We welcomed our son, Raylen Fred Sharp to the world on 11/17/2017. After some high Jaundice levels we finally got to come home today!

We are first time parents and wow, has it been amazing! I labored at home for 16 hours. My contractions weren’t too painful, and I had an OB appointment that morning! My OB joked when she checked my cervix and said let’s hope for a 6, and looked at me shocked, as I was a 7! She was totally kidding as I was a week early, and my last appointment I was only a 1 and 60% effaced!

I was trying for natural, but after 7 more hours of pretty tough contractions, I finally caved! They administered my epidural and pictocin at the same time and our little man came 30 minutes later!
