Jacob Steven

WE HAD A BABY TODAY!

5 lbs. 5 oz. 18 inches

Monday morning Lidia had a doctor appointment before being induced Tuesday morning. The doctor checked her and she was already dialated to 2 cm. Good news because hopefully induction would go quickly! This afternoon she started having really bad contractions that made her double over and even cry from the pain and discomfort. At 3pm, after about almost 2 hours of these contractions every 2 minutes, we went to the hospital where they checked her and found she was dialated to 4 cm and gave her an epidural. They broke her water and checked her again around 5pm and said she was at 6/7 cm. About 15 minutes later she started feeling pressure and called the nurse. He was already starting to come out!! They called her doctor who was half an hour away! The nurse ended up delivering Jake at 6pm and everything was great!! It was a fast and great delivery! Mother and baby are both doing so great and hopefully we will all be home in time for Thanksgiving!!

More pictures will follow!
