Josiah Dean Howard was born on May 16th at 4:05am. He was 8lbs 9oz and 20.5" long.
The highlights of his birth?
- Sat May 15th, sent home from hospital b/c he was facing the wrong way and I wasn't progressing in labor.
- Sun 2am woke up with severe labor pains.
- 3:35am checked into hospital, was 7cm dialated
- Got edpidural put in, but no time for actual use of drugs.
- Water exploded, hitting wall 6 feet away making nurses say "Oh my God!"
- Told to push once....his head crowned quickly
- Told to STOP pushing b/c the doctor wasn't there
- Stopped pushing; however, he came out anyways
- 4:05am nurses caught Josiah
- 4:10 am doctor saunters in saying "You could have given me more warning"
We are all home and doing well. Tired but oh so blessed...
