We checked in on May 2nd and Michelle was induced (40 wks).
She immediately went into labor which made for a long and for a painful night. By 2:30am she got a epidural which calmed her down for a few hours.
The doctor was here before 7am and Michelle started delivery. There was a small army in the room. She pushed and pushed but after the all nighter there wasn't much left. Alexander got the beginning and neither the vacuum pump or the forceps were working.
Dr. Ung made the decision to go for the C-Section and in no time the army had re-encorcements. We had four doctors, probably 8 nurses. Happily we're friends with two of the doctors Dr. Broad (the anethesiologist and Dr. Hall one of the docs in Dr. Ung's practice.
The group made short work of the delivery and before you know it Michelle was recovering and I was in the nursery with Alexander.
Michelle's on liquid food, has a small temperature but mostly is in good spirits. The baby is fine though he's got a black eye from the forceps.
I'm busy hijacking Internet access from one of the hospital computers.
