August 2010 Babies 
For all babies born in August 2010 or Mother's who were due in 2010.
Short: Evelyn Jean was born at 6:32 pm via c-section on Friday, August 6th, 2010. She was 7 pounds, 11 oz and 20 inches long.
Long: We went in for induction at 6:00 Friday morning. I was hooked up to Pitocin at 6:15. The doctor came in and broke my water at 8:30. By noon, I had only dialated to 4 cm and and her head wasn't dropping. The doc came back and checked on me at noon. I was only dilated to 5 cm. At 1:30, I started running a fever. I was started on antibiotics in my IV. At 3:30, the contractions were getting really painful so I finally asked for the epidural. By 6:00 the fever was still high and I still had not progressed. The doctor recommended a c-section. We went in the the OR at 6:20 and Evelyn was born at 6:32. It turns out that her head was lodged sideways in my pelvis and I would have had to have a c-section no matter what had happened. I also developed some type of infection in the placenta. She has a full head of blonde hair and looks just like her daddy. We were placed into our room at 9:00. We went home 2 days later.
More recently, we were never able to breast feed because Evelyn never could latch on. I have been pumping and we are doing well with that. She has developed colic and every night has become a challenge. She is so worth it though.
I hope that all of you ladies are doing wonderfully. I hope that everybody and their LO's are happy and healthy. Hopefully I will be on here more often. Talk to you all soon. Best wishes!
