Well after 9 months Cade has finally made his entrance into the world.
My labor was hard but I was able to do it with out any medications which was one of my goals. I started having contractions in the afternoon on the 9th, I left work at lunch because my they were getting closer together. It wasn't until about 2am that I really felt like my labor was starting, I woke Tyler up so we could time my contractions, sure enough they were every 5 min lasting 35-50 seconds and getting stronger! We checked into the hospital at 4:30 and I was dilated to 6.5 and was 90% effaced. I felt all the contractions in my back so I spent the majority of my labor on the birthing ball or leaning over the bed. After about 5 hours my contractions let up and my labor stalled, that is when the doctor decided to break my water. This really got things going! By 12:15 I was dilated to a 10 and ready to push! Push.... oh my gosh, this was the longest, hardest, most tiring thing I have ever done. It ended up that Cade was facing the wrong direction I think they called it OP, so I wasn't making much progress on getting him out. After 2 hrs of pushing the doctor decided to use the vacuum to assist him out. 30 min later our son entered the world!

Cade was born at 2:39pm weighing 7lbs 3oz and 19.5 inches long. Tyler and I can't believe what an amazing miracle we have been blessed with!
God has given us a son to raise and take care of.
