In honor of James' second birthday, I thought I would share his birth story, from two years ago. Happy Birthday baby, I love you!
James Peter Norby entered our hearts at 8:05am on July 23red 2010. He weighed a wopping 7lbs 5.2oz and was 19.5in long. He is a scrawny little boy with one big head :) (his head is 14in big compared to his 12.5in chest :)
Labor and delivery went really well.
I came in for an induction on Thurs. the 22nd at 3. Betsey Horken was
my labor nurse until 11pm and did a fabulous job. Pitocin was started
at 4:30 and I started to feel contractions around 5:30 and at around 6pm
they tried to break my water but baby was still too high. At 9:00pm
they were able to successfully break my water and the contractions
really started to get more uncomfortable. I got an epidural at around
9:30 by Curt and he did an absolutely amazing job. He was done before I
even knew he had started. I rested on and off until around 5am when I
really started to feel uncomfortable again. Judy was my labor and
delivery nurse and did a fabulous job. Curt came in and tried to give
me a couple of boluses in my epidural but I started to feel a lot of
pressure in my bottom. I had just a little bit of cervix left, but they
decided that I could push past it. I started pushing at 6:45am. Jamey
didn't like pushing and had late variable decelerations with
contractions. I was starting to get really uncomfortable and tired with
pushing and so a little before 8am they decided to use a vacuum to help
Jamey come out. He had a nuchal cord x1 and arrived into this world at
8:05am.
He had a little trouble
transitioning and he went into the NICU for the first hour. He was
having some retracting and nasal flaring but it seemed to resolve itself
in a few hours.
