He is finally here! Emerson John Paul Smith was born September 15th, 2009 at 9:33 am. He was 8.1 oz and 20.5 inches long. I woke up in labor on Tuesday morning at 6:30 am and after John and I decided this was finally real (I had a lot of false labor), we called to tell the hospital we were coming in. We found somewhere for Levi to go and we got to the hospital at 7:45 am. I waited in triage for about 1/2 an hour and then was admitted and went to my room. My labor by this time was incredibly painful and I had to decide what I wanted to do as far as "relax" in the bath or get some drugs. I decided I wanted an epidural so in the meantime the nurse had to hook me up to an iv. At 8:45 my water broke and I was only 5 cm dilated. At 9:15 I was 9 cm dilated and I told the nurse I needed to push. Needless to say, I didn't have time to get an epidural. I had to wait for two more contractions and then the midwife let me push. Emerson was born at 9:33 a.m.! We are so happy for this little bundle of joy in our lives! Already, having another one has been quite the adjustment; we are enjoying the challenge though.
