At 7:30 am on 9-11-07 my wife was induced to start her labor with our first son, third child. While waiting at St. Rose Dom. in Henderson we were able to watch "Guys and Dolls" and "Paint your Wagon". Movies that I grew up on and also my wife. The funny thing was that I never experienced BETA, my wife on the other hand did. She had "Paint your Wagon" on beta. Thank Heaven for VHS tapes back in "MY" days.
Dr. Sauter showed up unexpectedly around 12:30'ish and popped her water and a few minutes after she got her epadural. She slept mostly the rest of the time until around 5pm and she started to fill pressure. From around 4 to 5pm the nurse had her on hands and knees, left side, right side, laying down and sitting up to get that baby started down the slide towards the light where the johnny betch and the salad spoons are happily waiting. (The baby couldn't handle the contractions)
@ 5:20pm our precious baby boy arrived in this world weighing at 7.5 lbs and at 19 inches long. It was a great moment for us and also for our two girls who couldn't wait for their brother to show up.
