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!
