Yesterday at church I was having contrations and I really hoped it was for real. The baby wasn't due for 3 more weeks but I was so miserable I tried everything to get him out. After church I timed my contractions and they were not too close but we regular so we called Nana to come stay with the kids while we went to the hospital to get checked out. We arrived at LDS hospital around 7 and was monitored while we watched the season finale of Downton Abby. I was in labor and was admitted to the hopsital. We called Sammy to come to the hospital, she is going into nursing and wanted to see the birth. I had an ultrasound, the nurse thought the baby may have turned breach, luckily he didn't. I got an epideral, it didn;t work on my left half very well. Then they broke my water and said they would check me in a little while. I told the nurse it was time now, and when she checked I was right the baby was coming. My doctor was out of town so they paged the covering doctor, but had to call the on call doctor in the hosptial. When she came she said we'd wait for the other doctor, but the baby wanted out right then and with 1 push he fell right out. He was only 7 pounds! He measured 19 inches long. The other doctor showed up after all the action was over.
Trevor was 8 lbs 2 oz and Lola was 9lbs 8 oz. We had never seen such a small baby. He was born around 3 in the morning. I was very tired. Nana brought the kids up to meet their new brother.
They got to watch Daddy and the nurse give the baby a bath. He was our bald baby, with the least amount of hair.
We had a hard time naming our little guy. We had thrown around the name Andrew for awhile but was never sure. But right before we left the hospital we named him Andrew Chad Eastman.
Here are all 3 kids smashed in the backseat of our car. We are fighting getting a minivan because we finally paid off the car last year and don't want a car payment. I am not sure how long we will make it in this tiny car.
