Lucas Stout Weber8lbs 3oz 21in long
Here are some pictures that my Dad took. If you wanna see.. but I am going to document the labor a little just for my own journal's sake :)
(If you have trouble watching it, go to you tube. Sorry the audio isn't working!)
So we got to the hospital at 6:30 am, we got all dressed, checked in and in our room about 7:15. After lots of questions the nurse checked me and I was dilated to a 3 and 70% effaced. She hooked me up to an IV and gave me a small dose of Oxytocin, (7:45 am) and I immediately started having contractions every 2-3 min. Yay! I knew I was planning on getting an epidural, so the nurse advised me to get it while the anesthesiologist was free, so I got the epidural at 9:00 am. Dr. Howard came in to check up on me at about 9:20 and broke my water when I was dilated to a 5 and 80%. By 10:00 AM I was at a 7 and 90%. That went fast! :) As Dr. Howard left the room he said, "Yeah, this baby will be here before lunch for sure." That got me all excited, so we started having everyone place their bets as Andrew wrote them on the white board. Even Dr. Howard and Debbi, our nurse, got in on the bets. (which the nurse guessed exactly... but she did get to cheat a little bit, she was hurrying everyone out, and getting us ready so she could win, we loved her by the way :)
So just before 11 Dr. Howard came in and checked me. I was at a 9+, so they went and grabbed their stuff. It was then that Kennedy got to come in and say Hi really quick just before the big birthday party!
So once we were all set up, just a few quick pushes and he was out! 8lbs 3oz and 21 in long! Such a big chubby boy! :)

I honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect labor! It was so fast, super enjoyable, and everyone was healthy and happy! I love the staff at that hospital, and I was really glad that my Dr. was in town. He is great! I am so so grateful!
Everything was great! I am so blessed.
