My Baby boy Aiden was born today, 6-11-06, at 9:55pm weighing in at 7 lbs 15oz, and 22 inches long. Amanda had gone in to early labor last night. we went to the hospital at about 9:30 only to be sent home at 12:15 after walking around for a few hours. we came in dilated at 1.5 cm and there was no change. on the way home, Amanda’s water broke at about 12:45 and we had to turn back. they had given her a drug to go to sleep that was kicking in at about this time. we were then stationed to a room were we sat for about 20 hours before Amanda had actually been able to push. During this time she was in horrible pain and was given a drug to dull the pain but not remove it threw the iv drip. after that had worn off she was then given another dose. Soon after this the pain was so awful she needed the epidural followed by a narcotic after that. Every thing went amazing, and yes i watched the whole thing as well as cut the cord. we now have a very beautiful baby boy, Aiden Michael Lewis.
