Welcome to the World Baby Bowerbank # 3

Welcome Preston

We had a scheduled induction for Preston. With how big Aaron was, they were afraid that Preston was heading in the same direction. At 35 1/2 weeks, on Oct 27th we were off to get induced. They do things differenly here in Germany. They do a gel, it works naturally. The thing was that if it does not work work after 6 hours, you get another dose, and another. This could go on for 3 days. Once you are given the first dose you need to stay in the hospital. So at about 4 hours in, not much was happening, except for some random ones. I did not want to have this going on forever, so i asked the nurse if i could go for a walk. They agreed. I left, and went and walked up and down the stairs all four floors 4x non stop. I got tired,and wanted to go rest. Mike was tired too, so he went to take a nap. As I got ready to take a nap, now about 5 hours in, I was told they were going to do another dose in about 1 hour. I was about to nap, when nope, it was go time. I was not ready. Ha ha ha. I wanted my nap. Oh well, I call Mike and he thought i was joking. Nope get in here. They moved me to my amazing room for delivery. We joked around, i was playing with the fun equipment. They checked me i was at 4 and I told them I wanted an epidural. They called to get everything ready. I was asked to go and empty my bladder. I did, but as I walked out I was in transition. I could hardly walk let alone make it to the bed. The nurses were in shock. It was fast. By the time i made it to the bed, it sucked. I wanted my pain relief which when she checked me, told me i could no longer get it. I told them i needed something. The anesthesiologist gave me something i could control. But it was not enough. Mike said a couple of pushes and baby was here. They rushed him away. I got one quick kiss, and that was it. I had the shakes for a long time. It was strange and I had no idea what the heck was going on. Preston weighed 7 lbs 4.6 ounces, and was born at 7.34 pm, in Germany.  So he would of been a really big boy had he been born on term. 

 Here he is in the NICU. I had not held him yet. He was HUGE compared to the other babies there.

 Getting to hold Preston for the first time. At this  point he still was not named.
