We are now back. Hope I was missed. lol Ronan has been fed and is now sound asleep for a little while so I am free to share my news with you all.
So as you know I went into the hospital early Wednesday morning. We were scheduled to have teh gell applied which they did at 8am. I then asked the nurse how long it would take before we knew if it worked. She told us for each person it is different but usually a few hours or so and then we would start feeling a difference. Well they certianly didn't know my body. 15 minutes later(I am not kidding) the contractions hit me like a ton of bricks. They were immediately 1 minute apart and very strong. By 11:30 they were 30 seconds apart and I was 4cms. So I got an epidural. Exactly an hour and 40 mintues later I had him at 1:10 pm with only 10 minutes of pushing. So only 5 hours and 10 minutes of labour. Then I had my little boy in my arms.
He is perfectly healthy and happy. The first day we were a little worried since he kept sleeping 5 hours or more between feedings. But by Thursday morning he was feeding on a proper schedule. He is a very calm baby and can sleep through anything, just like his dad. If he needs something he lets out one or two cries and as soon as he hears you he stops and waits for you to pick him up and handle his problem.
He is so calm that when we introduced the dogs(one at a time) to him he didn't fuss at all when each one licked him to say hello. All the dogs already act very calm around him. Even Ajax who loves to sleep next to the playpen or the person holding him has been very good with him. Well on to the pics because I know that is what you all are waiting for. lol
