His birth was quite the adventure: don't worry, I spared the details ;-)
I woke up from my nap around 2 having stronger contractions, but they still weren't consistent. We continued our afternoon and evening as usual and they continued to stick around. My parents were due to land in Oakland at 8:15 but their flight was delayed, putting them in around 9:30. Well, we had all planned on going to the airport to get them but with my contractions about 10 minutes apart I didn't think it was smart to drive in the opposite direction of the hospital! So Cory left to get them around 9 and Kaylin and I stayed home, hoping that Cory and my parents got back fast and my friend "on call" just in case! My parents and Cory got home around 10:30 and my contractions were getting closer and stronger. Around 11:45 pm they were about 5 min apart so we got our stuff around and headed to the hospital. By the time they got us all set up in a room, I was 5 cm dilated. My Dr. got there at 1:15 to break my water and I was already 6 cm. I told my Dr. to not go far because I knew it would go fast! By 1:45 I was 10 cm and I only had to push for 15 minutes before our "little" boy arrived! The nurses and Dr. were all impressed with how big he was and how well I did - yes, I must brag, I did not have an epidural or any kind of pain meds (not that we would have had time for that anyways!)! The timing of everything couldn't have been better (or more scary) that my parents landed in CA hardly 5 hours before he was born!!
It was a very busy night on the labor and delivery floor, they had 3 moms come in in labor, having a total of 9 babies on the floor! So at about 6:30 we got kicked out of our room so they had one open in case someone else came in to have a baby. I had to share a room with another mom (which they said hardly EVER happens), I was disappointed at first since Cory couldn't stay with me and I wanted our own room so Kaylin and my parents could visit. At least the other mom was very nice and friendly. I was suppose to get my own room again in a "few" hours, but here it was at 2:30 pm and the mom I was sharing with was getting discharged right as Cory, Kaylin and my parents came to visit (they couldn't wait any longer). Kaylin got to come in first to see him and it was love at first sight! She just couldn't get enough of him (and still can't)! She kept hugging and kissing him and talking to him in her little high pitched "mommy" voice! It was nice to have our own room the rest of our stay. We got discharged the next morning and were home by 11:30 am! Presley was so excited to see us home, and even more excited about Lucas. He instantly knew what was going on and couldn't stop sniffing him and kissing his head. He curled right up next to him on the couch, taking his protective and loving position as "Big Brother" :-) We are all doing great and adjusting well!!
I have added some pictures and a video of Kaylin and Lucas at the hospital!
