I posted this post in a different site so I decided to copy and paste it to the blog so I would have it...I had our little boy on Saturday October 24th at 9:07 pm. I went into the hospital at 7am to be induced and had to wait until 3:00pm before they actually started the pitocin. I had to wait because there was another mommy trying to have a baby so they made me wait until she was done. When I got there she was at a 9 so they thought she would hurry and deliver and then I would get started. Well, after the whole day of her pushing and me getting antsy they finally decided to give her a c-section. So, at three they started me on my first dose. I was dilated to a 5. At 6:00 I decided to get the epidural. I was really torn about it because I knew that my blood pressure was going to go down but I decided I needed to get it so it would be a happy experience for me and my husband. The guy came to give me my epidural and he hurt me so bad! I have never felt anything like it. He kept poking me in this one spot but couldn't get it to go in. I told him probably because of my scar tissue from my other epidurals and I told him to stop, that I would just deal with the pain. He then decided to go down a notch and it worked. My blood pressure went to 60/40 so my nurse sat me up. I also had a fever which wasn't helping me feel good. After the epidural the doctor checked me and I was at a 7 and a little bit later the doctor came in and checked and I was ready to push. The baby was facing to the right and he kept trying to come out by my tail bone so I had to push a little longer than with my other kids. I pushed a total of 7 pushes and out came our beautiful little Tevon Jarod. He was perfect and so worth the wait. He scored a 9 and a 9 on his apgars and he weighed 6 lbs 14 oz and was born at 9:07pm(6 hours total labor). We are so thankful to have this little addition to our family. The picture of the kids outside is because they weren't allowed in the hospital room to see him so they had to meet him for the first time through the outside window. They were good sports though:)

Tevita and I met 13 years ago in Provo Utah. What a cutie he was! In June we will have been married for 12 years. It is hard to believe that we have been married that long but yep, here we are coming up on 12. We have 5 beautiful children that keep us pretty busy. We also have 3 angel baby boys that we know we will be with after this life. We have so many different personalities in this house but there is one thing for sure...we love each other and are grateful for this family! What a great life!
