I was due on February 5th, (this Sunday) but I had been so uncomfortable for the past month. My knee and hips were hurting, I felt HUUUUUUUGE, I couldn't sleep, etc. I really wanted my Doctor to deliver me (instead of just getting who was on call at the time) and he promised he would as long as he was in town. I had been dilated to a 2 for a couple of weeks with no promising outlook of going into labor anytime soon. My dang babies never drop! He could see how miserable I was, so we scheduled an induction for Tuesday, January 31st at 6:00 a.m. I was so happy! I had mixed feelings about it all week though...wondering if I was being a total baby and should just wait it out. But, I was running on NO sleep and decided it was time. The last couple of nights I had to sleep upright on the couch because my arms and hands would fall asleep...does anyone else have that problem?!
We got to the hospital around 6:30 a.m. (couldn't find the keys :) and the nurses got me all checked in. It took them 4 attempts to put my IV in...I have some crappy veins! Needless to say, my arms are covered in bruises :) I seriously had the BEST nurses all day long, I was so grateful! They were all amazing and helped me so much. They started me on Pitocin around 8:30 a.m. and I started having contractions shortly after. Dr. Coleman came in and checked me and guess what? Still a stinking 2! So, we let the Pitocin do it's thing and he came back and checked me around 12:00 p.m. and I had gone up a whoppin cm. Now a 3! He broke my water and I was on my way. I decided it wasn't the best time to get my epidural because I wanted to progress quite a bit more first and I was still pretty freaked out from Krew's epidural (10 tries with NO SUCCESS!) So, I waited until about 2:30 p.m. before I had them make the call. My anesthesiologist arrived 15 minutes later and I was having pretty bad contractions. He tried twice to get my epidural in before realizing that I had a blood vessel in that part of my back and that's why everyone had such problems. So, he decided to go down a knotch on my back and hit it perfectly. BEST epidural I've had yet! A half hour later, I was feeling pretty good :) Things went pretty fast from there. Around 6:45 p.m. I was fully dilated and almost ready to push. Problem was, Kutter was facing upwards. So, Dr. Coleman decided he could turn him through my pushes and it worked! I only pushed for 12 minutes and he was out.

Kaiden was excited to see Kutter, but hesitent. He didn't want to hurt him and thought he was so small.
This was one of our nurses, Michelle and she was fantastic! She was so patient with Kenned'y 1,000 questions. She even let her listen to Kutter's heartbeat...Kennedy was in heaven! She really wants to be a nurse when she grows up and I know she'll be amazing.
Aunt Kaci
Krew wanted nothing to do with baby Kutter but thankfully now has warmed up to him and loves giving him kisses on his head. He is always making sure Kutter has a binki too.
My oldest and youngest!
The Grandmas...these two were so funny. They both got to experience the birth and then while Kutter was getting cleaned up, they were texting fools! Taking and sending pictures like crazy...they are two proud Grandmas.

10. KNIGHT AND DAY...I actually thought this show was pretty darn entertaining. I am skeptical when it comes to Mr. Tom Cruise...not my fave guy, but I really thought these two did a good job together.
