He's here!

So ironic that i wrote about how Yoda had been acting weird, and that dogs can predict things and then the next morning at 5:30am my water broke! Talk about weird!

Anyway.. So the story!....

We went to bed on Wednesday night about 11ish.. I woke up about 2:30am and i thought i peed the bed a little bit.. ("pee" was drippin down my leg) so i got up and went to the bathroom and went back to bed... only to find that i was "peeing" myself again about an hour later.. I just thought that the baby was getting really low, therefore pushing on my bladder and making me drip without feeling it.. so i got a towel and put it between my legs for the rest of the night.. I woke up at 5:30am went to the bathroom and then proceeded to stand up, and as i stood up there was a big SPLAT! .. My water broke... and obviously had been leaking all night! So i called the hospital and they told me to come in!.. So for the next hour Landis and i were running around the house like chickens with thier heads cut off... We weren't really prepared thinking that the day would never come..

On the way to the hospital we took a detour to the church building where my dad was teaching seminary so i could get a blessing.. So my dad, Brother Maloy, Landis, and I were smashed inside this tiny closet full of chairs.. My dad and Brother Maloy placed their hands on my head and dad started the blessing... "Stacey"...... ............. ........... .......... After a few seconds of silence i realized my dad couldn't think of my last name.. So we all had a good laugh.... I reminded him of my last name, he finished the blessing, and we were on our way..

Panic!!

By the time we arrived at the hospital my pants were soaked! The nurse that showed me to my birthing room had a good laugh! Landis snapped a picture before i changed into my fancy hospital wear...

So by 7:30 i was in my gown and we were ready to go..

(scared)

Of course this is the first thing Landis does... (Gettin the TV all figured out)..

At about 8 the Dr. showed up and checked me out. He determined i was dialated at a 4 .. We watched Rataoullie and about 11am the Dr came back and determined i was dialated at a 5 but the baby still hadn't started moving downward.. at 11:30 the contractions were coming fast and hard so I got an epidural! Man! is that wonderful!!!!

After that I didnt feel a thing! I highly recommend this!

So we watched movies alllllllllll day until about 7pm.. the Dr. finally came back and checked me.. i was dialated at a 6 and the baby still hadn't come down at all.. The Dr. told us that the Prognosis for a vaginal birth was very poor and he thought a C-section would be the way to go. He told us to think it over because he was going to go deliver a baby and he would be back when he was done.. So we made the decsion to go ahead and have a c section and the nurse filled us in on all the details.... Landis hadn't eaten all day so we decided he should run and get something to eat before all the excitment happend.. Right when he got back the Dr. was done and they were pretty much unplugging me from the machines and wheeling me down to the O.R (Landis quickly changed)

.... About 20 mins later (after throwing up on the operating table and being very uncomfortable) at 8:02pm I gave birth to a handsome little baby boy!

They wheeled us both back to the room and i finally got to meet my baby!

Casey weighed 6lbs 8oz and was 18inches long!
So glad its finally over!!! I love being a mommy!
