Heading home from the hospital!

We all knew this day was coming, myself more than anyone else and yet I still can't believe it came...I am a MOM!!! Yes, me. I now have a son!!

The story. I had my check-up on Tuesday, September 4th. While doing my urine sample my water broke! I went into the exam room, and when the nurse asked if I was having any problems I informed her I thought my water had broke. She gave me a sheet so the doctor could check. He came in asked the same question and I told him the same thing. He seemed a little skeptical and asked about it. So he finally checked and sure enough, I was right, my water had broken and I was dilated to 2.5 cm. He then encouraged me to go straight to the hospital. I called everyone (Steve first, OBVIOUSLY) while waiting for Steve to come get me, as I was a little nervous to drive myself. We were admitted to the hospital around 4 p.m., received an epidural somewhere close to 10 p.m., started pushing around 8:30 a.m. and he arrived at 10:31 a.m. on Wednesday, September 5th. He was 7lbs 6 oz and 20.5 inches. And super adorable!!! And if you've made it this far I will now allow you to look at all the pictures. :)

It was a long night waiting for the wee one's arrival. Steve got some sleep on the couch in our delivery room. I didn't sleep much that night...
