HE is here!!!

Nolan Alan Bosma has arrived!!!!
So here is the story... I was scheduled to be induced on Sunday morning at 7, not because of medical reasons, but because my Dr didn't want to take the chance of us having to deliver in the car or something since we had to drive to sioux falls. BUT, 5 am I get a phone call that the hospital is full, so we can't go in til they call us which ended up to be about 4:30pm. So we headed to the hospital after some walking around and eating of different foods to try to get baby to come out on his own. I was hooked up and such and by 6 we were getting the pitocin and fluids. Everything was going well, but slow. Around 9:15 my Dr broke my water. After that things went a bit faster, but still not as fast as I would have liked. As the pitocin increased so did the pain even tho I got an epidural. The nurses were trying to get me to lay on my sides after the epidural, but when I laid on my left side, Nolan's heart rate would drop, so they thought maybe he had the cord wrapped around his neck or something. In the end, after 3 pushes and 9hrs of labor our little bundle arrived at 2:24 am on May 23, 2011. We are so happy and blessed to have our little boy. The girls are absolutely overjoyed about having a little brother and are already fighting over who gets to help throw the diapers away and all the other stuff.

We are home now! I can't wait to sleep in my own bed, even if its only for a couple hours at a time. Nothing beats being home with family! My mom is here for the rest of the week since Mark will be leaving Thursday for an archery event. He is pretty excited to go and has even asked if Nolan wants to go with him. Cute huh?!

Thanks to everyone who has wished us well and for all the support we have received!
