The Ineck Family: November 2010

November 15th, 2010 at approximately 3:20 my water broke. Told Brad who was given the day off it's time to roll. Keegan with his face full of orange Cheetos was put in the back seat, messy face and all. We were off to the races. Wondering how long it would take for us to get to the hospital and if we would make it. While Brad was driving he was calling everyone telling them "Thunder cats are go." Meaning it was time and I get in trouble for using my cell phone when I am driving. Hum mm.

Sitting in triage waiting for a room.

Getting hooked up to the monitor. Was initially dilated to a 3 with regular contractions. Couldn't get up walking cause I was leaking amniotic fluid still with each contraction and they were worried cause her head wasn't engaged enough that the cord could prolapse out. At one point I was allowed to start walking but then she decided to be naughty and have a heart rate drop during a 2.5 minute contraction. After waiting 20 minutes I was doing laps. Well about 5 till the contractions were starting to get harder and harder. We made it back to the room where I had one more bad one, got super nauseated and felt like I needed to push. The nurse was called. I got checked at was at 6cm. me not tolerating the strength of contractions and didn't want to loose the ability to have an epidural the nurse anesthetist came in. First attempt was failed due to a super strong contraction, well and my husband needing to sit down. Got a little weak at the knees. Who's the patient now? Second attempt was in the right spot and barely felt a thing afterwards. Next thing you know I was completely dilated and ready to push. A few minutes later...

Kendal Yvonne Ineck arrived into the world at 8:51pm.
Proud Mommy!!

Proud Daddy!!

Sucking on her fist rearing to eat.

She has a good set of lungs on her too.

Quick nap while under the warmer.

We got all situated up in the Mother Baby unit. Things were busy that night. Once Kendal's temperature was stable enough it was time to bring her to the nursery for a bath. At first she absolutely hated it. Then...
