Gibson has arrived!!

Gibson made his entrance into the world on January 7th at 10:26pm. I went into the hospital at 7:30am to be induced, got hooked up with the pitocin by 8:30 and the Dr. came to break my water by 9:30. My contractions started getting uncomfortable, so I decided to get my epidural at 1:00, after that I just got really tired and wanted to sleep. Things went pretty slowly until 9:30pm I started feeling some pressure and the nurse said I was a 9 and should be able to start pushing by 10:00 or so. Shortly later the nurse had me do a "practice push" and Gibson's heart rate dropped dramatically, next thing I know there were 4 nurses in the room trying to get me in different positions to get his heart rate back up. The Doctor got there and decided that he was just not going to be delivered vaginally, so they rushed me to the O.R for an emergency C-section, poor Chris was running down the hall trying to put scrubs on. Within 5 minutes of us getting in the O.R Gibson made his debut. He weighed 7 lbs 14oz and was 21 inches (nice size cone head though).
