I know. Finally...

So it's been awhile but I still wanted to blog about having Grayson. I was scheduled to be induced on Friday at 10am but at 9:40 I got a call and found out there was no room in the inn. Since I was literally about to walk out the door, I didn't want to just sit around the house waiting so Scott and I decided to look at model homes. After two more calls to the hospital they finally told me I could go in around 4pm. That was only the beginning of how completely long the labor process was going to be. They decided to take the very slow route and give me something to prep my cervix that took 12 hours. That didn't start the labor like they thought it would. Then they decided to break my water early Saturday morning which definitely increased the contractions but also didn't progress anything. They finally decided to give me the smallest dose of pitocin which increased the contractions and pain more but only got me to a 3. So, after a few hours they decided to increase the amount of pitocin which put me in excruciating pain with contractions every couple minutes but after a couple hours of that, nothing had really happened and I was asking for the epidural. Well apparently that's what I needed because just a couple hours after that wonderful epidural I was at an 8 and 45 min later Grayson was born after only 3 pushes. I hated their method of trying to start labor without actually inducing because of how long it took but this time around was a piece of cake. Unlike when I had Logan, every nurse was wonderful, my epidural didn't wear off, they let me hold him and nurse him immediately after he was born, and I was able to get around by myself within a day. If it hadn't taken so long, it would've been absolutely perfect. My prayers were truly answered. Even Logan did wonderfully. He stayed with Scott's parents and was completely happy and loving every minute of it. He didn't miss us one bit. Right before pushing time.A proud but slightly awkward dad...not quite remembering how to hold a newborn.The first time Logan came to see Grayson, he was completely uninterested. The second time, he was hooked. Ever since then he's been a very attentive and loving big brother. The only problem is that involves Logan trying to smother, kiss, pick up, high five, give knuckles, hold, and feed Grayson. Pretty much nowhere is safe for Grayson so I have to watch the two of them like a hawk. It's exhausting and puts me in a very tricky situation to make sure Logan doesn't kill Grayson but continues to love his little brother instead of resent him since he's always getting in trouble for bothering him.Me and my beautiful boys.Home sweet home on Monday morning.
