Although my actual due date was set for Saturday, October 9th, we had opted to induce early if Baby Blaser was not born by Monday, October 4th, so that Brett's only week off work would not be waisted waiting for his arrival. We had originally scheduled the induction for Monday, but plans were changed when the hospital told us they were full Monday and we would have to schedule it for Tuesday. We scheduled the induction for Tuesday the 5th, so we were TOTALLY caught off guard when Sunday night, October 3rd, we received a phone call at 5:30 pm asking if I wanted to come in at 8:30 pm THAT NIGHT to be induced! AHHH!!! We said yes, packed our bags, and headed to the hospital.
Because I was already so far progressed upon arrival, they didn't end up starting my induction with Pitocin until 5:00 am Monday morning. I received my epidural at 6:45, water broke at 8:30, started pushing at 9:50, and Weston was born at 10:17 am! Short and sweet!
Ready to head to the hospital. Sunday, October 3rd - 39 wks and 1 day
We feel so lucky that Brett was able to deliver Weston. It was an amazing experience for both of us.

I don't think you are supposed to look absolutely stunning the day you leave the hospital. Your new little family is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe look on Brett's face when he is holding Weston after the delivery is the reason we invented cameras. I hope you remember that feeling forever because it disappears real fast when you haven't slept for 3 weeks and you realize you have no idea how to be a good parent.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS! He is adorable! Glad to hear about the smooth delivery!
ReplyDeleteAnd LOVE the name! That is my 6 year olds name!
No one looks so cute going to the hospital! It's not fair!!! And even leaving the hospital you are amazing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats again!
CONGRATS Rachel- of course he is adorable and you look fabulous (not fair)! I LOVE the name :) I thought about spelling Weston the same way, but we ended up with -en instead and my maiden name was Jones too so we thought about Jones for a middle name also :) I am so happy to hear things went so smoothly- what a blessing!
ReplyDeleteHe is seriously adorable- & how your belly is that flat the day after giving birth- dang you tall Jones genes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic picture of Brett delivering Weston!!
