On Friday, the 9th of August, 2013 a third member of our family joined us. Wyatt was born at 3:54 in the morning weighing in at 7 pounds 11 ounces. All went well with labor and delivery and the new baby was pronounced as healthy as could be, even getting a perfect 10 on the Apgar Test. Here is a rundown of the events prior to Wyatt being born.
6:49 p.m. on Thursday the 8th. Emily's water broke, about 10 minutes after leaving work.8:00 p.m. We arrived at McKay Dee Hospital in Ogden and check in. Emily is starting to feel some good labor pains and is dilated to a 4.
9:00 p.m. An epidural is given and everyone is happier.
10:00 p.m. Emily is dilated to a 7.
10:00 p.m. - 2:00 a.m. We leisurely enjoy Shark Week on Discovery Channel, very different than what we expected our hospital time to be like.
2:00 a.m. Emily is dilated to a 10 and the doctor is paged.
3:15 a.m. Emily practice pushes with the nurse while waiting for the doctor and is told to stop so the baby doesn't come too early.
3:45 a.m. The doctor arrives.
3:54 a.m. Wyatt John Spackman joins our family.
It has been a fun, life-changing event. Strange to think what life was like before he arrived. Wyatt has been a pretty good baby, struggling little with nursing and when to sleep, but overall doing really well.
Fun you kept a timeline. It will be interesting to look back at when you have other kids. Yes I agree sitting in the hospital waiting is very different from what is expected. The movies make it look so much more dramatic! hahahaha
