Miles Joseph Walker

Labor Story -  Do not read if you don't want to know, although it is not gruesome.

On June 9th 2011 Miles Joseph Walker entered our lives THREE WEEKS EARLY!!!  I had gone in for my apt that Tuesday and the doctor was not going to check me but I said that I had had one painful contraction and some other little ones so I was curious.  Well he checked and I was between a 5 and a 6.  So we figured I would probably be a little early considering I was already over halfway finished with labor and didn't know it.  Anyway, two days later I started having contractions and I was nervous because I had strep B and I didn't want to give birth without drugs!!!  So I went in.  They checked me and said I was still a 5/6 but my bag of water was bulging so if they sent me home it would probably break as soon as I got home then I might not make it in time for the antibiotics.  So they admitted me.  I called Dan and it took a few min for it to sink in.  He actually had time to go home and change clothes and come back.  They broke my water and gave me some pitocin and I got my epidural nice and early.  I was talking to my mom on the phone and the nurse came in and checked me and I was a 10 and it was time to push!!  I had to push a lot more with Miles than I did with Olivia because he has a GIANT head!!!  He literally popped out and surprised the doctor and the nurse.
I can not even express to you how much I love this little guy.  He is so wonderful and I cannot help but smile when I think about him.  He is perfect and adorable as you can see!
