Finally!!
The wait is over! We finally welcomed Caleb James Lott into our family this afternoon at 4:30. Initially we were worried that he wouldn't come until next Monday because our doctor said the hospital wouldn't schedule a medical induction until one week past the due date. However, we could put ourselves on a list of elective inductions that might or might not get called to come in. Our doctor's office put us on the list and said we were third in line. We were informed that if a room was available the hospital would contact us sometime after midnight. We got the call at 12:10. Around 1 a.m. we rolled into the hospital and by 2:30 Jessie was on a pitocin drip. Our night began in a triage room and at 5:30 we were moved into a delivery room. Jessie made the call for the epidural at 9. Around 3:30 p.m. she was fully dialated and effaced. She started pushing at 4 and by 4:30 he was here. His APGAR score was very good he got 9/10 for both his initial and five minutes after birth. He got his first bath after switching to a different room and as soon as he was dry he zonked!
