So we had our baby boy 11 days early. Saturday Oct 18th . He was 7 lbs. 4 oz. 21 in. long. Mark was up hunting when I started getting contractions every 6-7 min. I called the doctor and she said I was fine and I just needed to relax. So I called Mark and he said he would head back down and be home by one. So I watched some TV and tried to relax. My contractions started getting closer and closer. I tried to get a hold of Mark and he had lost reception up at the ranch. I figured he was on his way so I tried to relax some more. Well one o'clock came closer and the contractions were also. I started to freak out cause 1 came then 1:30, and still no word from Mark. Finally at around 2 I called my mom to have her bring me to the hospital. We left my house at around 2:15 and on the way there Mark finally called me. He made it to the hospital right when they were putting in my IV. The IV was the worst part. The epidural was a wonderful thing. They actually had to give me something a little bit stronger cause my right side wouldn't numb all the way. Then I couldn't push very well cause I couldn't feel anything so they turned off the epidural. So toward the end of pushing they turned it back on so I wouldn't feel anything. Everything overall went smoothly. I pushed for 1 hr and 8 min and was in labor for a total of about 8-9 hrs. (well of hard labor) Our baby is a gorgeous little man! We are so lucky and blessed to have a baby. We couldn't be happier. We love our baby Garrett!!
