Luke Thomas Savino

Who would have thought that not long after I wrote my last post Wednesday night, I would be on my way to the hospital. I layed down about 9:45 Wednesday night, when I started to feel contractions. So I started timing them, every 10 -15 minutes for about an hour. As nervous as I was, I just wasn't too sure if I should call the doctor or not. I finally talked myself into it, and woke up Jayson telling him that I was going to call the doctor. The doctor told me to go ahead and make my way to the hospital. So Jayson called my mom and asked her to come to the house and stay with Connor since he was already sleeping. So about 11:00, we hit the road to Sugar Land. Once we got the the hospital, they put me in the triage room to check vitals and hooked me up the the machine to time my contractions. The nurse told us that they would keep us there for an hour monitoring the contractions, and then the doctor would make a decision if I would stay or go back home. Not even 30 minutes there, the nurse came back in and said that I would be staying and that I would be placed in a delivery room for the night. By this time, my contractions were happening about every 5 minutes and I was still dilated to a 4. About 2:00 a.m. I received my epidural and they told me that if nothing happened  by 5:00 a.m. they would induce me. So 5:00 a.m. rolled around and they started my potosin and by 8:30 I started to push. I pushed for close to an hour before Luke was born. I had no complications with Luke as I did with Connor, so this delivery was way different for me. I was actually able to hold my baby right after delivery, where with Connor, they took him for monitoring and wasn't able to hold him for 4 hours. Believe it or not, Jayson actually cut the cord! I was so surprised that he did that, we didn't even get a picture. So we proudly introduce ...
