Well we have finally confirmed a name for our new son, his name is
THOMAS RICHARD FRAZIER
April 12, 2010
weight 8 lbs. 7 oz. 21 in. long
I thought maybe I would give a little bit of detail of how the FAST delivery went on our big day. Last week after much thought, discussion, and prayer we decided to have me induced on Monday morning (day before his due date). The doctor was giving us the option of doing it a week ago, but that seemed too early. We weighed the pros and cons and decided this would be the best route to go.
5:50am- got me hooked up to I.V. and antibiotic (for bacterial strep) right away.
6:30am- Lori (our AMAZING nurse) hooked me up to the pitocin
I was just having my normal braxton hicks contractions, not any 'real' ones.
7:55am- I started to have my INTENSE 'real' contractions about 2-3 minutes apart right away, holy crap! We called Lori our nurse and requested an epidural. She could see how FAST they were coming. She hurried and checked me and I was already dilated to an 8. We were all pretty much panicking and frazzled. Bless Lori's heart, she hadn't checked me when I first came in because I was only having my braxtons and Dr. Weibell was going to be coming soon anyway so she said he would just check me when he got there. No one thought it would happen SO FAST!
At this point I felt like I was sitting on his head and everything on in my inside wanted to be on my outside :)
I was worried that it was too late to get the epidural at this point. Lori made a quick call to Dr. Taylor, the anesthesiologist.
8:11am- Dr. Taylor was there in a jiffy, and poked me right away. It took a while for it to kick in but it was just enough to cut the pain, but I felt like I still had control and felt the pressure of him coming out.
8:34am- Dr. Weibell came and broke my water and I started pushing.
8:50am- Sweet Thomas was out. AMAZING LABOR!!

This is how the labor process went. Here we go!

We seriously still can't believe how quickly everything happened. He is "Turbo Thomas". I guess this may be a trend with all my babies. I will go from having NOTHING to having intense contractions really close together. That's how it was with Emma as well. I went from nothing to having contractions 4-5 minutes apart with her.
We are so thrilled and feel SO blessed to have him here safe and sound. Everything went amazing. I wish all my labors could be like this. He was definitely ready to come. I just look at him and my heart melts. Our hearts are so full and we feel the love our Heavenly Father has for our family to send us such a beautiful son.
