Joshua's Hospital Stay... Photos and a Flick!

Joshua Raymond Naumann... Photo Debut!

Introducing... Joshua Raymond Naumann!!

Weighing in at 8 pounds, 0 ounces... Joshua was born at 1406 Pacific Standard Time. Mom and baby are doing great though both are exhausted! Mom had a rough labor with over 3 hours of pushing!! We were very close to needing a C-section, but in the end everything worked out perfectly! We wanted to thank everyone for their well-wishes and prayers - we couldn't have done it without them.

Be sure to stay tuned... we'll upload some photos a little later tonight!

She's Complete!

Heather just had an exam at 0900... 10cm dilated and 100% effaced! The plan is to let her "labor down" for an hour to let the baby drop a little more. Around 1000 she'll start pushing! Yeah!!

The First 17 Hours...

It only took 12 hours of induction to go from 3cm to 5cm!! So the epidural was finally placed at 2AM! What a relief! We were able to sleep for about 4 hours. This morning the cervix is at 6.5cm and the epidural continues to work great! Here are some pictures to document the progress:

Just Started Pitocin... Life Is Good!

Damn Pitocin!

Baby Heartrate on Top, Uterus on the Bottom - Both Looking Great!

Sweet, Sweet Epidural... and Sleep!

Baby... Your Time Has Come!

Heather went in for her OB appointment this morning.  Much to her relief, they decided that enough is enough and it is time to induce!!  She's checked into the hospital and just started her pitocin drip!  Keep us in your thoughts for a speedy, painless, and productive labor :)

Due date - Hmmmm???

Well today is the official due date and thus far, no activity.  I was really hoping he was just waiting for the exact day! My next appointment is next Wednesday, so unless something happens between now and then, you'll hear from me on Wednesday. Hope all is well with everyone!
