For my record!

It is so crazy to think that Bridger is already a week old!!!! He is seriously the best baby and has brought so much joy to our family!!! Carter is the best big brother and loves Bridger so much.. He calls him baby Bridgy which is cute for him to call him that but I don't want that to be his nick name from everyone just Carter... fyi! Its cute for him to call him that but not really for a boy to be called Bridgy forever! So this post might get a little boring and long but I want to write it all down so I don't forget it!
On Nov 3rd I finally had a doctors appointment I was really excited cause I had been having contractions for about 9 days seriously not bh contractions these ones were painful and I was uncomfortable, but when I went to the hopsital they would just send me home. Luckily at my appointment the doc decided to do a stress test on the baby and the results were that he wasn't under stress but i was having contractions every 3 min! (hello that is what I had been telling people for over a week! Im glad they believe me now.) So the doctor was like your in labor and kept me!!! It was really exciting since the third was Matts birthday and Carter was born on my birthday we were thinking how cool it would be for Bridger to be born on Matts. I was admitted to the hospital at 4:00p.m. and was given the epi soon after that.. which by the way I didnt have a epi with Carter and i didnt like it at all until the end i was thankful that i had it! I just don't like the feeling of not being in control and I seriously couldn't feel or move my legs. My mom and Matt had to keep lifting my leg back on the bed cause it kept falling off and that bugged me!! By the time I was ready to have him it was a good thing I had one though! I don't think it would have gone as smoothly as it did with Carter. Anyways, I was dilated to a 8 and 80% efaced for what seemed like forever!!! at a quarter to midnight they decided to start some pitocin to help me finish. I had 2 STRONG contractions and then I knew I was ready! The doc was in doing a c section and so they called him. If he wasn't doing that c section the baby would have been born on Matts birthday but we had to wait a min for him. He finally got there at 12:05 and Bridger was born at 12:12!!! He weighed 7 lbs 13 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. My mom was there which I was so thankful for since she wasn't able to be there when Carter was born it meant so much to me to have her be one of the first ones to see him! She stayed up for the week and helped out SO much with Carter and cleaning my house, doing laundry and cooking for us! I seriously don't know what I would have done without her! She is the best!!! Matts mom came up also and helped babysit me! ha i have been a little stressed about having two kids by myself when Matt is gone so it was so nice for them to help me out! Thanks so much!!!! We love you!
