On Tuesday, July 8th we welcomed Pierce Ryan Killpack into our family. He was 8 lbs 6 oz, and 21 inches long. We went into the hospital to induce labor at 7:00am. They started me on Pitocin and they then broke my water around 11:00am. I ended up having him at 4:20pm. I started pushing around 4:00 and on my second push they told me to stop cause he was ready to come out and the doctor wasn't there yet. As soon as the doctor came in I gave another push and out he came. Yeah, I was pretty happy that this delivery went a lot smoother and quicker than the last two.
Cory's Mom came down to take care of Jovin and Mayer while we were in the hospital and help out the rest of the week. They came to the hospital the next day and Jovin was really excited to meet Pierce. Mayer was a little indifferent, but he really enjoyed running around the hospital room. We came home Wednesday night.
The boys have been really wonderful with Pierce. Jovin loves to hold him and Mayer will stand by the bouncer and talk to him. Cory's Mom went home a day early cause his sister Natasha had an emergency appendectomy Thursday morning. Luckily she is okay and doing better. But we had to say goodbye to Mom a day early. We were really bummed about that. We do appreciate her coming down to help and play with us.
So we are surviving pretty good on our own right now, but we'll see how I do by myself come Monday. It should be pretty interesting. :)
