Okay here is the full story

We arrived at the hospital at 9:15pm on the 16th to start the induction. They noticed some very light and irregular contractions on the monitor but as opposed to the 2 cm 50% effacement and forward positioned cervix. I was 1 cm posterior with a full thick cervix. Cydotek (I think) was inserted about 11:00 and then I went to sleep for the night (well as much sleep acan be expected). In the morning I had progressed to where I thought I started the night before. At 6:00am the pitocin was started and contraction were basically on top of each other and though a little uncomfortable it was not painful. The Dr. came in at 8:55 to break my water and place internal contraction monitors. ANd we found out I had preogressed a whopping 1 cm. I was in a great deal of pain but decided not to get an epidural because of how fast Matt was born. By 9:15 they had to put in an internal heart monitor because we couldn’t keep her on the monitors. I got a shot of something (fentinol???? maybe???) to try and take the edge off and they also gave me an anti nausea med because I was about to throw up. I continued to be in pain but continued to try and get “comfortable” in the rocking chair until about 9:45 when I completely lost it. I needed to go to the bathroom but wanted to be checked first just incase. As soon as I got in the bed the pain became unbearable and they said 6 cm but it instantly changed to don't push yet but that is the head. AS soon as the dr. walked in the room they told me to feel free to push He was born in one push directly onto the bed and it took a few seconds before his daddy said…”um is that a scrotum” Kassandra Elise very quickly became Jonathan Patrick. NOone expected he would come out quite so fast so they were doing a little running at that point. He was silent after he was born and that was definitely concerning me but they all assured me he was perfectly fine. His Apgars were a 5 than a 9 but I’m not really sure the reasons. After about five minutes he started to cry. He was 7 lbs. 2 oz. (just like Katy) and 19 ¾ inches long. He is very sweet but his complete lack of interest in eating is starting to worry me a bit especially because he spent the first 48 hours doing nothing but wanting to eat.
He went in to the ped yesterday and checked out well he is down to 6 lbs 10 oz but they are in no way concerned. Dr. said he seems to be eating pleanty but if I am not more comfortable with how he is feeding by tomorrow he will arrange a LC visit for us. He is also a little more jaundiced then the would like to see his bilirubin levels were at 16.9 so we go back in today to get tehm rechecked. If they have gone up to 18 he will need to go on the lights but our fingers are crossed that they will be okay. They do have at home phototheraphy (which Katy was on) so atleast he won't have to go back in to the hospital if they do go up.

and here are a couple more pics...I am planning on being brave enough to be photographed again soon...maybe today smile.gif

Forgot to add...
YEs his room is light purple...violet it was Katy's fairy princess room then we moved her to th ebigger bedroom to make room for her little sister wink.gif his whole closet was full of pink clothes and now there are 4 boxes of clothes, blankets...stuff that are going down to the basement because he is a HE. I have been to target so he does have some clothes and wont have to be embarassed about his attire in any early pictures. WE went and bought new paint and letters for his wall now it's just up to dh to do it.

It was an exciting surprise. I have to admit I liked that surprise better with Matt since it was a couple weeks before he was born and not in the delivery room. We figure we were just really not meant to use the name Kassie.

He's an absolute doll Lisa. wub.gif Congradulations! hug.gif I happened to be present for a Samantha who turned out to be a Conner myself. The doc was so sure it was a girl he put the baby in my friends lap and was like you have a beautiful baby girl. Yes it was the first thing I checked when the baby was born and was like um no Sam has an extra part.

Aww he is too cute! What proud siblings he has too! That's so funny he turned out to be a boy. When I found out I was pregnant I was certain it was a boy. I just had this strong feeling about it. I even went out and bought a blue blanket, some little boy outfits and shoes. I was only like 8 weeks along! Luckily my feeling was right! tongue.gif
