Just one day shy of our due date, and on Hope's 3rd Birthday, my doctor induced labor! I was going crazy all day long as we had a 4pm appointment to induce at the hospital but I had to call an hour early to make sure there was a room for me and that they could take me. I cleaned the bathrooms, wrapped the last few Christmas presents, ran errands, cleaned the house, and probably did everything but rest. I just had to stay busy or I was going to go crazy with anxiety. Finally the time came to call the hospital and what relief to hear that they could take me. I went in, had an angel nurse who got us going with pitocin, and talked me into an epidural before I melted down from pain. Oh how I love epidurals! Within a few hours the doctor came in, checked me, and after pushing for just 7 minutes our sweet baby boy was born! Ethan William Forman came into the world at 10:07 pm, weighing 8 pounds even and measuring 21 1/2 inches long. We are delighted, Hope especially so as she was able to meet Ethan this morning. She is in love with him much to our delight and joy. Mommy is recovering well and Daddy has beamed with joy since seeing his second son. Bryce is a bit active to have in the hospital so he will meet his new little buddy at home tomorrow. What a blessing to have a healthy baby, and to add a sweet boy to our family!
