♥MEET KOBY♥

KOBY MICHAEL
9 lbs 6 oz
21 1/2 in.

**I was induced the 27th, it took longer than i expected, but it was a busy day for my OBGYN on the maternity floor. I was actually going into labor on my own, but slowly, they didnt start the pitocin until 3:30. Purposely bc my doctor was busy so they were putting me off a bit. But my room was busy full of people so it was hard to really concentrate on having a baby. when visting hours ended at 8:30, everyone left except my coaches, they then broke my water at 6 cm. Then the pain began, haha. They cranked up the pitocin and Ialready had an epidural but it was not working no matter how much they continued to give me. An hour after they broke my water, I was 10 cm and ready to push. Let's just say.......my 3rd did not come easy, but instead the worst!! I pushed for 20 minutes but it was the hardest, most painful pushing I had ever experienced. He was born at 10:09 pm, it made for a long day at the hospital. I still cannot believe I got through it, lol. I wont post ANY pics of what i looked like after!! LOL. After a whole day of being pumped with an IV and pitocin, lets just say I was a little swelled up, lol. But I am glad I got through it and this little guy is in our arms. The kids just love him and were so happy when he came home. I must say, it felt really good to bend over and to be able to sleep in my bed comfortably again :) That was a big baby to carry around in my belly.....if you couldnt tell ;)

The baby is absolutely the cutest baby ever! All your babies are beautiful but Koby definetly takes the cake.

All I kept thinking of when I went to bed and then woke up the next morning was you poor thing (when I heard how big he was)he is worth it though!

So glad I got to hold him already ~ remember I am free to rock him ANY TIME! What a beautiful FAMILY you have! Try to rest when the kids rest ~ you will need it.

Love ya, Aunt Diane and Uncle Scott
