Kelly is anxious

Aunt Ashley is excited and ready to go. She was here to help coach Kelly.

Heart monitor at 8:00 am. Everything looking great.

Top is monotoring heart rate and the bottom is the contractions. Just starting everything looks good.

Kelly trying to get a little rest before the fun begins. Everything was great at this point.


Got to the hospital at 7:30 am. Kelly was getting all hooked up on the IV and the pitosin. Monitors in place and she was in a great mood except for not getting any sleep all night. She said it was very noisy and they kept coming in to check on her every hour. LOL Aaron left to go home and shower. Kelly and I chatted a bunch and then Ashley showed up. We did great. Aaron got back about 9:30 and we sat and chatted and waited for everything to get into full motion. : )

They came in at 10:00 and checked her and said she was only at 3 centimeters. At 12:35 they came in an gave her an epidural. She was able to rest for an hour before the nurses came rushing in because the heart monitors were going crazy. We rolled Kelly to her right side and Evans heart rate dropped drastically, so we had to roll her to her left side but his heart rate was still eratic. They called the doctor who was at his office down the street. He got there in 5 minutes and came in saying " Your baby is being a brat". He checked her and she was still only 5 centimeters. He looked at the paper of the babies heart rate and decided that they would take him C-section. at 2:10pm they prepped Kelly. They got Aaron his funky paper suit and wheeled Kelly out of the room. We waited with Aaron for 15 minutes until they came and got him. He walked into the delivery room and within 3 minutes his son was out and in Kelly's arms.

Evan Joseph was born at 2:34 pm on 7/8/09 weighing in at 8lbs and 19 1/2".
