We had been waiting quite a long time for the little dude to arrive, knowing that the further along longer he stayed in, the less chance that he would be delivered at home. I decided to go to work Tuesday morning since Heather's exam on Monday with the midwife suggested she had quite a bit further to go before labor. I arrived at work at 6:30 am and was hard at it when the phone call came in at 6:45 that her water broke but she wasn't having contractions. After numerous maneuvers to bring contractions, the midwife advised going to the hospital for induction/augmentation.
In the hosptial Pitocin was administered and she went into strong labor eventually requiring an epidural about 1 am on Wednesday. She weathered active labor for 24 hours but little Thomas's head was just not moving down. Absolutely exhausted she tried to push him out late Wednesday afternoon, but he wouldn't budge.
Heather went to c-section about 5 pm on Wednesday and they popped him out a few minutes later.
Take a look at the pictures. Sorry, but he is definitely the cutest baby my eyes have ever seen.
Thanks for everyone's thought and prayers,
Lance
