He's Here!

James Nathaniel Sizemore made his debut to the world on March 22, 2011 at 1:52 pm. He was 7 pounds 13 ounces and was 20.75 inches long. Josh and I went to triage at labor and delivery on Monday the 21st after my blood pressure was staying borderline high. My OB decided that I should have labs and most likely be induced. After 7 ish hours in triage we were finally admitted for induction and I was moved to antepartum and put in a room. My official diagnosis was PIH (pregnancy induced hypertension). We decided to enroll in a double blind clinical trial that was testing a new induction drug. We were told that the whole process could take up to 36 hours. Twelve hours later he was here. We don't know for sure but we guess that I was given the test drug because of how fast my cervix ripened and dilated. I literally went from 2.5 cm to pushing in 90 minutes which left ZERO time for an epidural. It was not my intention to have this baby naturally but you know that saying that we make plans and God laughs. All in all he is here and healthy and we couldn't be more in love! Here are some pictures to enjoy!
