Around 1:00 am Friday I was dialated at 10 cm. The family rushed back to the hospital to be with me. Around 2 or 2:30 am I began to start pushing. I pushed for about 2 hours, but the baby couldn't get any closer than 2 in away. The doctor came in and said more than likely the baby wouldn't fit through. I was so exhausted that I was perfectly fine with a C-section. Around 4:45 I was taken to surgery and Jarrett came up at 4:55. Jonah Elias Richards was born at 5:18 am May 12 weighing 7 lbs and 11 oz, measuring 20 3/4 in long. I am recovering quite well. I can now eat pudding and pee on my own!! I was able to breast feed him and he did well the first time. He did have low sugar, so he is now hooked up to an IV. We hope he will be taken off that today, we will see what the doctor says. Jonah has been very good and content. He is easy to calm down when he starts to whimper. Jarrett was successful in changing Jonah's diaper. It was his very first time ever changing one and with a little assistance he did just fine! I have been up walking around a little, so that is helping the recovery. I will keep you updated with how things are going as the days go on! We hope to be home soon!!
