Solomon "Asher" Williams

Our sweet boy arrived November 4, 2009. I went in for my last dr. appt on Monday the 2nd and he said we could pick either Wednesday or Thursday of that week to enduce labor. We said Wednesday-I honestly think Sol picked that day because he couldnt deal with the whole "I am never going into labor" mean person I had turned into anymore. I was DONE!
This is the last pregnant pic of me. This is right before we walked out the door to go to the hospital.

We showed up to the ER at 7 AM per dr orders, get to the registration desk only to have the lady see my insurance card and say "hold on a minute." NOT FUNNY!
Well, turns out our insurance redid all the contracts and the hospital we were at didnt sign the new contract. So, we had to go thru some extra steps and some extra phone calls and some nerve racking minutes wondering if I was infact going to be enduced or not. But, they did let me upstairs-thank goodness.
Dr. came in and broke my water at 7:30, I was dialated to a 2 and 70% effaced. Sol thought it was a good idea to bring out one of the card games we brought. We played that for about an hour or so but in the meantime, the nurse started me on petocin at 8. After the contractions started to get too bad to concentrate on the game we put it away and watched TV. I asked for some Nubaine, they gave me a dose- Nothing. They gave me a second dose- Nothing. By then I was done feeling them and ready for my epidural. She checked me I was at a 4 so they called the guy.
He came up, did his thing and finished up right as Rachel, Sols mom, and Emma came up. I was at a 7 already and the dr said he was going to go change since he thought we would be pushing soon. 3 Contractions later I was telling Sol to go find the nurse, I had to push. In came the dr and nurse, they set up the bed, I pushed TWICE and he was out. The dr did not even have enough time to put his hat and booties on. I found all his stuff still sitting on the table that night. The nurse was laughing because I told her when we were starting and she was putting my IV in that I set a goal to be done before lunch because I was super hungry (I wasnt allowed to eat after midnight) High and getting into 'the zone'

He was 6 lbs 8 oz and 19 in long and perfectly healthy in every way. We all love this little boy and feel so extremly blessed that everything went well with the delivery and he is healthy.
