Liam Beckett Earl made his appearance on October 26th 2011 at 11:30 am. He was 7 lbs 12 oz., and 21 inches long.
We checked into the hospital on Tuesday night and I got started on IV antibiotics. At about 4 am they started the pitocin, but it didn't do much. Around 10:00 am they came in and broke my water. I was still at about 6 cm. I started really hurting so I went ahead and got my epidural. I decided to try and get some sleep since things were moving pretty slow, but naturally, as soon as I got comfortable BAM a ton of pressure and pain. They checked again and I had gone from 6-10 cm in about half an hour. We did a "practice push" and the nurse said STOP and went to get the doctor. My kids and sister were out in the hall, saw my doctor run in and after about 5 minutes my sweet baby boy was in my arms.
He has already brought us SO much joy. I couldn't imagine our family without him.
Naturally... My tender heart cried like a baby. She loves him.
