After much anticipation Brody Kalani Carson arrived on October 27th at 7:21 pm. He was in no hurry to leave his comfy home and had to be induced. My Dr. was on call that weekend and was fine with scheduling me to come in. It is a very nice thing to know when you are going to go into labor. We woke up and had some breakfast, dropped Katelyn off at Grandma's and leisurely strolled into labor and delivery at 10am. We live about 45 minutes from the hospital so it definately beats the alternative... They started the pitocin around 12 noon , and it immediately started to work. About 3pm they came in and broke my water and about an hour later I got my epidural( I would've liked it sooner!) then around 7pm Dr came in and said it was go time. I pushed through maybe 3 1/2 contractions and then he was in my arms. Wow! He was 8lbs 10oz and 21 3/4 inches long. What a difference after Katelyn was only 3lbs 7oz. He is happy and healthy and we love him so much.
