Hello World, I'm here!!!
Aidan Ryan Jung
With Mommy and DaddyHi, everyone!
We wanted to let everyone know that Aidan has finally arrived (sorry for the late posting - we've been kinda busy)! He was born on Friday, July 24, 2009 at 6:48 am and he weighed 6 pounds, 8 ounces. It was quite an adventure to get our little boy to come out. We went in for an induction on Thursday, July 23 at 11:00 am and the medicine was started at 1:00 pm. Minor contractions were happening throughout the afternoon and then my water broke at 6:45 pm and then back labor started. I really wanted to have a natural birth but could not handle the pain and was given an epidural at 1:30 am. But, because of all the medicines I already was on and then the epidural, I became really, really nauseous and sick but no pain (that was the plus side). The doctor said I was dilated to 8.5 to 9 cm at about 5:00 am on July 24. But Aidan's heart rate kept dropping every time I was given medicine to induce more contractions to try to get me to 10 cm (it was dropping from 150 to 90) because his cord was compressing his body. The doctor gave us a choice: stop the medicine and wait for me to dilate to 10 cm or have a C-section. We opted for the C-section to avoid potential complications for Aidan. I went in at 6:00 am for the unplanned C-section and he was out by 6:48 am without any health problems! Yay!
We stayed at the hospital for the next 4 days and today is our first day home. He's an amazing little baby! He did not cry at all during the car ride home and has been feeding and sleeping like he did at the hospital. Hopefully this keeps up!
