We are all home now, and it is so good to be home. I was determined to be out of that hospital in 24 hours, since I was stuck in the hospital with Ella for 3 days. We made it pretty close to 24 hours.
Everything went so well. I went to see my doctor Monday morning and then I was able to go to the hospital at 11:30 am to be induced. When I got to the hospital I was already having contractions since my doctor had stripped my membranes. Then they started me on pitocin. After they started me on pitocin I got my epidural. They didn't give me too much pitocin though because Tanner was not a fan of it, his heart rate would drop. My doctor came at 6:00 pm to break my water and thats when things really started to progress. He ended up coming at 8:08 pm. With Ella I had to push for an hour and the doctor still had to help me get her out. With Tanner I pushed for 15 or 20 minutes with no problem.
He is doing great, he was fabulous in the hospital. We kept in our room the whole time and I loved it. I feel great, I didn't know I could feel this good after having a baby. Since we both were doing so well, we decided to come home last night. It was supposed to be at 8:00 but we didn't end up leaving until after 10. We all had a great night, he did great for his first night. We all slept much better then we did at the hosptial. I am just so grateful that he is here and he is such a joy to have.
Ella seems to love him so far. When she came to the hospital she was excited to see him and she wanted to hold him. She seemed really excited and was totally okay with everything. When she came home today she was so excited to see him. She keeps putting blankets on him and giving him toys. He was given a couple of stuffed animals, she went and got those immediately from his bedroom and put them around him. I was surprised she went and got his stuffed animals for him because she loves them and always wants to play with them.
It was cute because I put him in bed for one of his naps and she kept trying to get in the room. She was talking outside the door saying "Tanner, you awake yet". So she has really liked him so far but I am sure she may struggle with him a bit but I am just going to enjoy the fact that she likes him so far.
Right after he was born, they brought him right up on my tummy.
He didn't seem to like the light very much.
Ella loved holding him.
My favorite so far.
Ella giving Tanner his stuffed animals, he is so excited to see them.
