Gavin's Birth
MAY 17, 2010- GAVIN JAMES LONG
May 17, 2010 ( Monday at 12:45 am )
Was in labor since 4 am Sunday Morning but did not decide to go to the hospital until midnight. I tried lasting longer but the back pains were so intense that I could not get comfortable in any way. I was scared to go to the hosptial but I knew that I needed to be checked. Sure enough, we arrived at the hospital a little before one and was admitted right away. The nice nurse hooked me up to the monitors and measured me. Boy!! were we shocked to find out I was at a 3. Within an hour and a half, they got my epidural hooked up and i was at an 8. Bryan decided to call our parents to let them know and at 3:30 our waiting room was full! :) Unfortunately, they would be waiting quite awhile because I was dialating quick and at a 10 but when the dr broke my water, my dialation went back to a 8. They tried lots of things... but nothing worked and I was stuck at a 9 with the baby still high. They had me push but we could not make any change. The dr then said... it's time to prep her for surgery. At 10:41 am ... Gavin James Long was born.

The view Gavin saw looking out the nursery window! :)
A very tired me. This is shortly after being brought into our room from recovery.
A very very proud daddy!!!
There were no photos taken of me with Gavin until Colleen took this on the second day.
