Well, I am just bad, bad, bad. Parker Maclain Washko made his way into this world on 1/13/06 and I am just now posting about it!

Just a few things about this pregnancy…it sucked! I was completely miserable for the whole nine months with nausea, irritable bowels, and general pain. I went into pre-term labor in Decmber and was soooo ready for it to be over but alas the hospital professionals stopped it after a 3 day stay in the hospital.

On the Friday the 13th (woohoo) I went to a regular OB/GYN appointment and my cervix was dilated half way and my bag of waters was bulging. So, seeing as how my second child came within the span of an hour I decided to let them induce by breaking my water. At noon they broke my water but nothing happened. They gave me a little dose of pitocin at 2:00 and nothing happened. You see they knew I HATED pitocin and didn’t want to get me upset but I was past the point of no return and allowed them to up the pitocin to full strength at about 4:00. Within ten minutes I was ready to push but the Docs were’nt ready so they made me wait! When I was finally able to push, I gave it 4 hard pushes and he was out….all nine pounds, 6 ounces of him, at 4:13 PM.

Parker's Birthday
