Baby News!!!!

So, I have had the baby and have been home for a few days now. Sorry for my neglect of the blog but our computer is messing up constantly and we can't upload pictures. I am going to try to post some this week.

Reid Oliver Andersen was born November 18th at 3:09 in the morning. Labor was FAST!!! I was due on the 17th. I went to the doctor that morning and was to a 4. My contractions started at 9:45 and when they checked me I was a 7 and my contactions were 3 minutes apart. They admitted me and I was dying. I wanted my epidural so bad and the anesthesiologist took a LONG time (it was probably not that long but felt like an eternity) because of an emergency they had going on. After I got it I was a lot better. The doctor said that the epidural would slow down my labor but I didn't care. I could have been in labor all night with that thing. Within the hour the doctor came back and wanted me to try to push to see what would happen. Chris was sleeping and the doctor said that he could still sleep. I pushed and the baby was COMING. We woke up Chris and within a few minutes Reid was born. I couldn't believe how amazing it was.

Riley is doing great considering his world has been turned up side down. We are all doing great and I am the luckiest mom in the world. I promise to post pics this week.
