Momma Drama

Devin's Birth Story:

The Dr.'s office called us on Thursday 3/2/00 to have us come in that night to start induction with Cytotec in the cervix. My mom drove up to stay with Trent. We went in at 7 pm. Had pills in at 7:30, 11:30, and 3:30. Checked by Dr. Kelly at 7:30 am......2 cm and 70% effaced. My water was broken and contractions started in hard and heavy right away. Checked again at 8:45 am......3 cm and 100% effaced. Tried to walk around the unit once, didn't really happen. Got back into bed and had the extreme urge to push. Checked at 9:30 am......10 cm and 100% effaced. You weren't playing around! :) I pushed through 5 contractions and you came flying, and I mean flying out at 9:40 am with your large self. You nearly split me in two in the process. You weighed 8# 7 oz. and were 21 1/4" long. We came home the next day. You nursed well right away which was a nice change from nursing Trent in the beginning.

You entered the world thinking you were a force to be reckoned with, and the same still holds true today. :) Happy birthday to my Revin' Devin, my Sasha Sue, my Smidgeon Pidgeon, my breath of fresh air, my Devin Melissa!
