Today was a big day for us. Woke up around 2 am thinking I was having contractions. Was a little unsure, but started timing and decided that yes I was and while the first several seemed not too bad and varied, they quickly sped up. Seeing as we were about 2 weeks from my due date we did not have a bag packed yet so Aaron ran around to get one packed and then woke up Quentin.
By the time we reached the hospital (approx. 5-7 min from our house) I was having contractions about 1 min apart and oh, boy were they strong! So strong that when Aaron dropped me at the ER entrance (he went to park and get Q out of the car) I was already at the screaming stage. By the time they got me up to the birthing center and into a room I was feeling like I needed to push (like NOW!!!) The nurse checks me and tells another nurse to get my doc here ASAP cause I'm fully dilated and ready to go. They're trying to tell me not to push while trying to get an IV hooked up. And I tried really hard to do as asked, but by the time they got the IV in and took a look Wyatt was crowning. Another contraction later and his head popped out, so one push later he fully arrived; with no doctor present. They tried to get the ER doc up before he arrived, but she didn't make it until about 2 min. later.
All of this happened in 1 hour!
Welcome to the world Wyatt Ellis!! 6 lbs. 1 oz. and 19 in. long.
Love,
Mommy, Daddy and big brother Q :)
