Hello Ladies,
I have been missing from the forum for right around a week now and I am very happy to say that my son came into the world last Tuesday night (19th). I was a VBAC and it went better than imagined. Here is how my day went.
8:00 am Castor oil omlette. My DH had me eat one, I couldn't finish half of it until I called it quits. (this equaled about 1 TBLsp of the oil) 9:15 am Arrive at Joann fabrics, not going into labor, let's make a civil war gown 10:40 am Go to the mall and drop my DD off at Tumble Town (babysitter with a jungle gym at the mall) and start walking. After one lap of the mall I was having the same labor pains that I had been having for 5 weeks, but now 3 minutes apart. 11:30 am Sat down at the food court and drank a large sweet tea, putting my feet up and etc to see if it was false labor. Nope it continued. We then after drinks started walking again. I noticed that I had intense pressure now, at 2 minutes and would walk VERY slow during each pain. 12:20 pm Called the doctor and he said, "It's pretty busy, come get checked out, but be aware if it feels the same you might just go home." 1:15 pm Arrived at the hospital and I was dialated 2 cm, doctor said, "Hook her up to a monitor and we will check you in a bit." 2:50 pm Rechecked me and I was 2.5 cm and very effaced, then the magic phrase came, "Let's break your water and see what you do." 4:00 pm My doctor broke the water and I got some of the narcotic type drugs... I was really loopy. 5:30 I was asking for the epidural, got another check and I was 4 cm. 8:00 pm Doctor shift change, Dr. H. came in and said, "Let's just check you to see where you are." I was fully dialated and ready to push. She then asked me if I wanted to push through it or wait for the 'feeling to push.' I opted to wait for the feeling. 9:30 pm I started pushing. 10:09 pm My new little man came into the world.
I was so happy that I didn't need any pitocin or a repeat C-section. I could walk after 40 minutes. Just an FYI side note for my C-section, I got 2 spinal blocks and I couldn't walk for 2 days, the doctors thought that they had paralyzed me.
So I would like to introduce all my farmgirls to William Gerald Hack, my son. Here is the picture we used for the birth announcement. I wish all the other farmgirls here who are pregnant that your delivery goes as good or as better than you hope and pray for.

By the way, shameless plug, if you like my hospital gown, I make and sell them on etsy, they are designed as a wrap dress that the shoulders open up for nursing and the front opens for the fundus checks that the doctors and nurses do. http://www.etsy.com/listing/73684588/teal-blue-maternity-hospital-dress-size?ref=pr_shop

Thanks everyone, we are so happy to have him safe and healthy. I am so fascinated with everything he does, when I had my first I was preoccupied with moving and fixing up my new house I missed all of this. It was so interesting to me to see him look at things for the first time on the first day home. I caught myself watching him for hours.

First of all, CONGRATS on the new baby! I hope you make the choice to cloth diaper! In support of the gowns-my mom sewed me a gown and it was the best part of my whole delivery! I was asked over and over if my mom could sew them a gown-now I know where to send people! :)
