So Mom went to the Dr. on November 4th for her 38 week check-up and got a little surprise! The doctor checked her and laughed because she assessed her at being about 6cm dilated.... The doctor suggested we get the hospital sometime that night. So we made some phone calls and headed there! Due to Swine flu happenings, NO visitors are allowed in the hospital... not even the grandparents! So we were all on our own:
We checked in and were settled in the Labor and Delivery room at INOVA Fairfax Hospital by about 6:30pm. Not much more progress was made, contractions got a little stronger (keep in mind I got to 6 cm without even noticing any...) The doctor broke my water around midnight and things went pretty quickly after that!
We were 10 cm dilated and the pushing began at 3:15 am -- Baby Walker entered the world at 4:24!
Hello friends and family. We'll be posting pictures, videos, and updates about our newest family member, Baby McCann who will be joining us in November!
