Thursday May 23, 2013 I was admitted into UAMS to be induced at almost 41 weeks. After being in labor for 3 days I had my perfect baby boy; William Curtis-Drake Turner! At 19 3/4 inches long, 7lbs 10oz he was healthy as could be. Perfect tan complexion, head full of dark hair and big beautiful eyes.
They started the Pitocin Thursday afternoon but I wasn't dilating near as fast as they wanted and when they upped the speed of the drops coming out of my IV Willies heart-rate dropped so they kept having to slow it down then gradually speed it up. I got an epidural when my contractions started getting rough but it was only working on one side; whichever side I was laying on & it was very uncomfortable to lay on my back.
After three days and doing everything possible to have a vaginal delivery we had to do a c-section because I was too narrow. I had to be put to sleep instead of using the epidural because it was only numbing my right side. Luckily, by the grace of God everything came out great for everyone!
Seeing as how I'm planning to start writing a book here pretty soon, I doubt I'll be blogging too much. However, I plan on vlogging alot more from now on on my YouTube channel. Capturing our familys life on video will be so sweet to look back on, I still watch the first video Curt & I made together! :)
