My routine doctors appointment was scheduled the afternoon of Wednesday October 20th. Dr Christine Berg asked me if I was ready to have this baby. Without question, Brad and I answered YES and she decided to induce my labor. She told me that I could possibly go into labor that night, the next day or maybe even next week, but she thought she would try, since I was more than ready.
At 10:50 p.m. that night, I woke up to do my routine trip to the bathroom and had realized that my water had broke. I woke up Brad and he looked at me and smiled. We were both so caught in the moment that we were going to be parents, totally forgot what we needed to do. I was feeling fine, no contractions yet.
We got to St Joes around 12:01 a.m. Checked in with security and they admitted us to the Labor and delivery. Around 5:00 a.m. we made phone calls to family! Grandma to be Sue was in Door County with her JUGS and rushed home to be with us. Got the "GOD SENT" epidural around 7:00 a.m. and labor progressed.
At last it was time to push. after 3 hours of pushing, a beautiful baby boy was born. He was perfect! At last we were a family of 3 and overwhelmed with joy!
This is Haley Shama! We went to our first playgroup held at Congregation Shalom. It was so much fun and Sam did great. It was a super cold day today, but we made it. Rabbi Shama does such a great job reading to all the little kids. Haley and Sam go to the same Seton Childrens School in Fox Point. Haley is in the Darling Ducks room and Sam is in the Little Lambs room.
