Caleb's birth story

Just realized I have majorly been slacking on the blogging. Since Caleb is now 4 months old I thought I should get into a more regular routine.  So first post from being back Caleb's birth...
So Caleb's due date was May 19th. May 17th we came home from an afternoon of walking and shopping and something just didn't feel quiet right. I had my doctors appointment/check up the next morning at 9:40am so I figured it will be fine, I'll just go in then. So my husband and I left to go to the doctors office. I left Hailey with my mom and dad, whom (my dad) was flying out that day. This being my 40 week appointment my doctor told me we would talk induction. (which scared me and I totally did not want) I got a call 20 min before I was suppose to leave letting me know I would not see my regular OB because she was in a C-section. I got there and saw a different doctor. Something didn't feel right so I told him that. The doctor decided to check things out. First he checked and told me I was 6 cm dilated, that's probably why I was feeling weird. ( I had been 1 cm the week before) My doctor was still finishing up with the other C-section patient, so the doctor I was seeing gave me a stress test to see how Caleb was doing and to wait and hear from my doctor. Once that was done I walked over to the hospital because the hospital and doctors office were attached.
My husband and I walked over, while he made phone calls to his work letting them know he would be taking the next 2 weeks off.  It was now about 10:30am. I got all checked into the hospital.  Around 11am my doctor came in, check on me and broke my water. Oh my!!! Worst thing ever. They had the monitor going showing contractions, and when she broke my water you can see where it spiked higher than the contractions at that point. So uncomfortable. My doctor had been at the hospital all night with a different delivery and then a C-section. So she asked if I could try to hold off till 1pm so she could try and get a lunch.    
So contractions started to pick up from there. They asked if I wanted something for the pain, I told them sure. Though in all honesty it didn't get a chance to kick in because by the time Caleb came (at 1:32pm) I had not gone through the IV that they put it in. This delivery was a little harder than Hailey's because, well Caleb was 8lbs 6oz, and Hailey was 6lbs 8oz. With Hailey they just had me push, but with Caleb they told me to stop to help me not tear. Which I am thankful for, but not at the time. I just wanted to meet him. When he was delivered I didn't even care that he was all bloody I actually held him before they cleaned him off. With Hailey I had them clean her off first.
I was so excited to finally hold him in my arms. Due to my miscarriage a few months before finding out I was pregnant with Caleb, I was super nervous my whole pregnancy.
But Caleb made it. On May 18th Caleb Ray was born. There was no unwanted/stressful visitors this time around. There was only our friends Jimmy & Candace and my mom & Hailey. We only stayed 27 hours at the hospital because we were excited to get home and have Hailey get used to her new baby brother.  As well as get adjusted to being a family of 4. What a blessing it has been. My mom was able to stay and help for a week after Caleb was born and Ryan was around for two weeks after. It was a nice time to get adjusted and I am thankful for all the help I got.
