While I Was Gone!


I finished up my pregnancy looking like this!!!



I was due the 24 of March, because I went over and his size I had to be induced.



Thursday night I went in at 11:30 pm for the induction, I was 3cm. I did 4 rounds of Cytotec. At 7 pm on Saturday my water broke. I got an epidural at 9:30 I was 4cm, and at 10 pm I was already 9cm. So, 21 hours to go 1 cm, and half an hour to go 5cm.... I started pushing at 12:30 and he was born at 2:14am on 03/28/2009
weight: 9lbs. 9 oz.

Length: 20 3/4 in

head: 36 cm.


Name: Vann Smylie Wade


We named him Vann after my Grandpa (Ivan) who passed away two weeks before.
