It's taken me 3 weeks to get this updated, but our baby boy is here! He arrived Sunday, August 16 at 9:13 am via c-section. I was checked into the hospital on Friday, August 14 at around 4pm due to symptoms of pre-eclampsia. After my water breaking at 9:30pm on it's own Friday evening, I was induced at 2am on Saturday morning after my contractions were not progressing. On Sunday morning at around 8am, my doctor advised that we needed to do a c-section as I'd been in labor too long and wasn't dialating fast enough. I believe I only made it to 4 centimeters in 37 hours - even though my contractions had been 1 minute long, 2-3 minutes apart for hours and hours. So, I agreed to the c-section even though I really had never considered it an option and about an hour later Chip (in scrubs) was handed our 6 lb 14 oz healthy baby boy!
