At 36 weeks I started getting really uncomfortable and thought for sure I was going to have Kooper early. Instead on my due date I was still very much pregnant! It turns out that he was breach at 36 weeks and I guess that is why I was in so much pain. We got lucky and he flipped on his own so I wouldn't have to have a C-Section. Once he flipped I actually felt pretty good. I had got it in my head that I was going to have him early though so the last couple weeks were really LONG. On my due date we went into the hospital for a stress test to make sure everything was still okay. The doctors said everything was "Ok" but not "great." Meaning Kooper was not being as active as they would have liked. (Now knowing Kooper I think it was just because he is a lazy baby). Ben and I decided that it was time to get him out of there. So they admitted us and we got started.
I think they started me at about 11:00. The doctor came and broke my water at abut 1:00 and I had him at 7:15 on January 14th. Things got a little scary for awhile because I was having a reaction to the epidural and my blood pressure was extremely low. Then his heart rate was really low and it went back and forth like that for awhile. They turned the epidural way down and that helped me but Kooper was still having a hard time. They told me if things didn't start looking better they were going to take me back for a c-section. Once I dialated to about an 8 Kooper was all of a sudden okay and it was pretty easy from there on out. I pushed twice and there he was. (Much different than Kashe).
He has been a really sweet and happy baby and it has been fun to figure out how to be a family of four.
