sullivan oxford violaketi simons

Sulli is here!!! I was induced in the 26th of September and everything went great! My Dr. came in and broke my water at about 7:30 a.m., my nurse stared me on PIT around 8:30, I got my FABULOUS epidural around 11:30, Sulli's heart rate started dropping every time I contracted so they put some O2 on me and repositioned me and he started to do better. From 12:30 to 2, I progressed really quickly and had to call my mom and Kenna and her daddy back to the hospital (they had gone to lunch) and my dad made it about 5 minutes before I started pushing. Originally I had planned on Kenna and Sulli's dad watching Kenna in the waiting room while I pushed, but last minute he decided he wanted to be in there, so Kenna stayed too. She stood at my shoulder, held my hand and helped count when I pushed. I only had to push about 2 times and he was out! To me he looks JUST like his sister, their noses are just a little different. He was so alert after delivery. He weighed 7 lbs. 14 oz. and was 20 and a half inches long. He scored well on his APGAR tests. He is such a wonderful baby and I am LOVING every second with him!

Kenna is a fantastic big sister! She LOVES to hold her brother, feed him, help me get diapers when he needs to be changed and she especially loves to sing her brother songs when he's crying. It is so sweet and it actually usually settles Sulli down. I love watching them together. I am one proud momma!

I have felt really great since delivery. I was really pleased with how well everything went with delivery and my recovery afterwards. I was also pleased with the staff at Jordan Valley Hospital. They took great care of the both of us! I am so grateful to my parents for watching McKenna while I was in the hospital. I don't know what I would do without them and their endless love and support.
