Lucas Rybolt Ezell has arrived! Due July 31st, we finally went in yesterday at 4cm and 80% effaced. Doc decided to induce us due to my blood pressure steadily rising over the last few weeks.

Got checked several times with no change even with the pitocin. Knowing we were high risk for a csection I've had pretty bad SPD, I went a head and got an epidural to prepare for everything.

Baby boy refused to drop into my pelvis. Even with great contractions coming strong and regular, my body wouldn't dilate any more and baby started to stress, his heart rate drop every time I had a contractions. Even as terrified as I was, we all agreed we should do a csection. Once inside, we found he was face up and had his cord wrapped around his throat.

Everything went beautifully, felt like really fast! He is doing great! They thought he was going to be 10 lbs, but he was born at 8 lbs 15 ounces and 20.5 inches long. Still a big boy!

I'm super sore and keep falling asleep as I type this. Lmao! Very tired. 🌺
