We are home!!!

August 25, 2007 - Isaac Arrives

Irvine Regional Hospital- Irvine, California

7:30 AM - Arrive at Hospital for appointment to be induced

8:00 AM - Carrie relaxed, receiving Petocin via an IV (to help start contractions)

9: 30 AM - Strong contractions start. Epidural is given.

11:00 PM - Carrie is dilated to 4.5cm.

5:00 PM - Carrie is still dilated to 4.5cm. Doctors are concerned about little progress and 6 hours of petocin and strong contractions and recommend that we consider a C-Section

7:00 PM - Carrie is dilated to 5". Doctors are optimistic about progress.

8:30 PM - Carrie is dilated to 9.75". Baby Isaac is on his way.

9:53 PM - After 47 minutes of pushing, baby Isaac is born. He weighed 8 lbs, 12 ounces. He measured 23 inches long! He's healthy, beautiful, tall and lean and looks like his mom. (I think)

Here is Isaac about 10 minutes after birth- Calmed down, relaxed and cleaned-up.

Here's Carrie and Isaac shortly after. Carrie did a GREAT job!

Still No Baby

Unfortunately, Baby Isaac is very comfortable and has no plans on coming out anytime soon. Carrie is scheduled to be induced on Saturday morning. Hopefully by Saturday night, we'll have our baby.

4 Days Late

Baby Isaac is still not here. He was due on Friday, August 17th. No sign of him yet. We'll keep you posted.
