1 week old

Well we have made it to 1 week.  We are definitely running out of energy and are very sleep deprived as he is now more awake and alert during the day and loves to be snuggled during that time.  Tomorrow we go in for Titus check up to make sure he is growing and gaining weight.  Which I feel drained feeding him so I'm sure he is getting enough :)

Great grandma and grandpa Libsack came for a visit

Cousin Bryan and Great Aunt Lori also came for a visit

Can't get enough of this cuteness

Baby Titus

Apparently Titus was not too happy that we were scheduling his time to arrive.  So instead after we got home from our appointment I started having my contractions but I figured with all the Braxton Hicks that I was having, that was all that was going on.  But around 7pm they started getting stronger but still only 10-15 mins apart.  So I went to bed thinking it would end like they always do in a few hours, which they seemed like they did.  Then at 12:30 am I woke up and was a bit damp, I thought my water broke but apparently it didn't, I guess it was the mucous plug.  But whatever it was scared me enough to get Luke up and get to the hospital.  Which was a good thing.  When we got there I was dilated to 3, so they made us do a hour walk around the hospital and I was then dilated to 4 and hurting pretty bad.
So they admitted us and got us into our room I think around 3-330.  They got me hooked up to an IV and did some blood work and said they would be back in 15 mins to get my epidural in.  But after the 15 mins and some rough contraction pains, the nurse came in and said she had bad news.  She said that my platelet count was low and so that I was not able to get an epidural, WHAT?????  Talk about a let down when your in so much pain!!  So the next couple hours were pure torture!!  Luke said he got a pretty good laugh at the things coming out of my mouth when the contractions came and then when they were gone how fast I was back to myself.  Finally, came the time to push and in about 30-45 mins later, Titus was out. Thank heaven it wasn't longer than that!!  I remember telling the doctor as I could feel his head coming just to grab him and pull.  Not a fun experience what so ever!!
But he came out at 8 pounds 4 oz and 20 1/2 inches and a very healthy and happy little boy!!  
He took to breast feeding right away, which was a sign of relieve for me and just has been so good since!  What a huge blessing!

40 1/2 week check up

So I made it in to my 40 1/2 week check-up on Tues the 9th.  I was not very happy that I was still pregnant, lol.  But we went in and I was still dilated to 2, which really didn't sit well with me either.  So he striped my membranes again and he set us up with a date to go to the hospital to be induced on Thurs the 11th.  I had to wait two more days, I guess I could live with that.  I didn't do a 40 week bump picture because I thought he would come by then and I would of loved to do my belly bump in a hospital gown instead but that didn't work out to well.  So sorry I have no picture for this update!
