Tate Riley Gardner
Born: November 30
Weight: 7 lbs 10 oz
Our little man made an early arrival Friday morning and we are just so in love with him! Starting Thursday evening I started feeling quite a bit of discomfort and contracting frequently. So we decided to head to the hospital around midnight and unfortunately I was only dilated to a 2. They had us stay for an hour to see if I would dilate anymore and also to do some blood work. An hour had passed and I was still a 2. However for the past few weeks my blood pressure had been pretty high, and that night the blood work came back saying that I had preeclampsia. So with that news they were going to induce me right away. About 7 hours later little Tate arrived. This definitely was the hardest labor I have gone through due to the fact of having to be on magnesium for my preeclampsia (that medicine made me feel like I got hit by a train!) Also my epidural wearing off when I was dilated to a 7. The anesthesiologist came in to give me more medicine for my epidural, but sadly it didn't work because I went from a 7 to a 10 in less than 5 minutes, and the medicine hadn't kicked in yet. All I could say about that experience was pain...lots and lots of pain, oh and lots of tears! In the end of course it was all worth it. Tate is such a sweet little baby and we are all in love with him and his little wimper of a cry.
