Almost a week past my due date, of June 7th, Dr. Gillespie decided it would be best to induce due to hypertention. So the
morning of the 13th, Stephen, my sister Kristie, and I went to the hospital. They put part of a pill in my cervix to try
to "get things going". That's all it took. My water broke at 2 in the afternoon and the contractions started to
hurt. Thirteen hours later, I was checked yet again and still only 3cm dialated. At that point I begged for an epidural!
I love Bob, the anesthesiologist!! Once the epidural was in place, Candice (my midwife) and Dr. Gillespie put internal monitors
on me and also Patrick. This is when it was discovered that Patrick's heartrate was dropping dramatically every time I had
a contraction. Dr. G recommended a c-section before it turned into an emergency! As dissapointed as I was at first...in
the long run...I didn't mind! I was wheeled into the OR for the c-section. Here are some pictures lifted from the digital
video that Stephen "shot" while answering all my "Are they done yet?" questions! (I asked it ALOT!!)
Patrick gets his first glimpse at the world!
Somebody turn off those lights!
What an unhappy camper we have here!
