Our little man is here and he is such a doll! I went in for an induction on my due date...I couldn't take it another minute. We went in at 7am and after I was all set up with pitocin I was contracting and dilating just as I was supposed to. After the doctor broke my water we had a little scare. Brixton's heart rate kept dropping with my contractions and would not come back up. I then had to have a shot of terbutaline to stop my contractions all together (which I was all too familiar with from my pregnancy with Greyson). The doctor decided to fill me back up with a synthetic amniotic fluid before starting the pitocin again. This seemed to make Brixton happy. I continued to dilate and got to a 9 1/2, but Brixton never dropped down. The doctor had me push for about 45 minutes and there was no progress...the kid didn't budge. My doctor proposed the idea of a C-section and I jumped all over it. They wheeled me in, prepped me and Brixton was out in minutes...well technically 13 hours and 50 minutes later. The umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck 3 times. They said once was common, twice on occasion, but three times was unheard of. This was the reason he wasn't handling the labor after my water broke and also why he wasn't dropping down. We are just glad that he is finally here and that he is healthy.
Welcome to the world sweet boy!
