The Birthing Story


Okay so while we have a min and the birthing story is fresh on our minds we'll journal it all: 

In the words of jack bauer "the following takes place between..." 5am & 10:37am Feb 4th 2010

5am:Arrive at hospital, fill out paperwork, & get checked into our room at Orem Community Hospital

6am: Rachel is started on Pitocin (lowest dose)

7am: The most AMAZING anesthesiologist gives Rachel the epidural.

8am: Rachel progressed from 3 cm to 4 cm. Baby is not liking the Pitocin so they cut the dose in HALF

8:30am: Dr Weibell checks Rachel & she's still at 4cm. He then breaks Rachel's water. He predicts she'll grow a cm an hour from here on out.

9:50am: The monitor on Rachel's belly moves so we call the nurse in to get it in the right spot. The Nurse says, "Well, why dont I go ahead and check you while I'm here". She checks to see how dilated Rachel is and her face goes into shock! She says "it feels like your complete! like you're a 10!" So she runs and grabs another nurse to check & sure enough she's fully dilated! (Keep in mind that this is with HALF the dosage of Pitocin they started out with!) The Nurses call the Dr and he said to let her rest and descend for an hour (the baby was a -1 station) & then she'd start pushing in an hour

10:15am: Rachel feels some pressure and calls the Nurse in. The Nurse checks her and the baby is crowning! Then came the Chaos! Everyone ran into the room. Our Dr was at the clinic & there was no Dr in the building. They grabbed a nurse that has delivery experience and they told Rachel not to push, laugh or move a muscle or he was gonna come right out. They kept saying "There's no way Dr Weibell will get here on time".

10: 30am: Dr Weibell runs into the room after breaking every traffic law on the way. Rachel was SO happy to see him. He sat down and 3 pushes later  at 10:37 am Corbin joined us in the world!

Talk about crazy! This kid was ready and eager to get here. He's so much like his Mom, very impatient :)
 but we love him so much for it!

The post below has some more pictures of our cute little guy.

He's here!!!!

Corbin Edward Wright was born yesterday Feb 4th at 10:37am weighing 7lbs 6oz & 20 inches long. He is the most perfect thing we've ever seen! The delivery was super quick & both Mom and baby Corbin are doing great! Brandon is the most amazing Dad and is loving his little boy!

He's a little tease! Pregnancy Update

So our little boy is a little tease! Last night I started having contractions every 7 mins lasting about 20-30 seconds. We started getting really excited, thinking that this could be the early stages of labor. Well after a few hours the contractions weren't getting anymore intense and then they stopped all together! Talk about a bummer! I've had a few today but nothing like last night. We are praying really hard that he comes soon...like right now! :)

Here's some pics of the nursery.

Nursery Before:

After:
I finally finished all the bedding! : )
Now for some more walking and wii fit to try and get labor going.

10 min laugh!

Okay so if you watch American Idol you probably saw the old man rap about "pants on the ground" which was hilarious BUT I just saw this video of a Canadian Legislature using the song and seriously laughed for 10mins! I am now officially interested in Canadian politics.

*if you havent seen the American Idol "pants on the ground" make sure to watch it on youtube first*

Sneak Peek & 38 weeks!

Here's a sneak peek of the baby's bedding that I've been working on. I will hold out & show the rest when the nursery is complete.

The crib skirt
The other fabric I used for the bedding has a really cute matching star print, so I appliqued a few stars. It was my first time doing applique and I must admit, I'm pretty proud of myself.
38 weeks. Getting nice and round. I sure hope this baby comes on time! We are both getting SO ExCiTeD!
