God's Will

October 15, 2010, God blessed us with a beautiful and healthy baby boy, William Lynn Pflederer!

After four hours of pretty strong and regular contractions, we decided to go to the hospital at 2 a.m.

Here I am getting ready to go to the hospital. This is an awful pic of me, but just looking at it reminds me of how I felt at the time. I was soooo tired and was just wishing that the contractions would ease up a little bit soI could get a good nights sleep and go to the hospital nice and refreshed the next day. My wish did not come true...

When we got to the hospital, I was dialated to a 5. I was finally admitted, in my room and got my IV a little after 4 a.m. We then called our parents to tell them the exciting news! At 7 a.m., they broke my water and around 9 a.m. I got my epideral and started pitocin. My doctor thought I'd have a baby by noon, but by noon, I was only dialated to a 6.

Here's Jeff trying to catch up on his sleep, since neither of us had really slept in over 24 hours. The funny thing about this picture is that there was a room full of our family talking and the TV was on and Jeff just slept through all of it!

Waiting, waiting and waiting for baby Pflederer to come! I am soooo tired, but cannot sleep!

We're still waiting...

At 3:20 p.m., I was finally dialated to a 10 and ready to start pushing! I remember the nurse telling us that often, for first time deliveries it can take any where from 2 to 4 hours of pushing before you actually deliver. I was like "Yeah, right! No one I know, has ever pushed that long! I'll have a baby in like 20 minutes!" Boy, was I wrong! I pushed for 3 1/2 hours! I thought the baby was never going to come out! But of course, he did!

William Lynn Pflederer was born at 6:56 p.m. on Friday, October 15, 2010 weighing in at a staggering 8 lbs 5 1/2 oz and 20 inches long.

Ready or not, it's time for us to go home and do this on our own!

Will - We love you so much! You are so special to us and we can't wait to see what God has in store for you. You are such a good baby and already have your own personality. You are growing up way too fast, but we are enjoying every minute of it!
