Drew Harrison Tilton

Drew made his arrival into this world Friday, July 17 @ 11:05 weighing in at 6lbs. 10oz. and 20.5 in. It was BY FAR my fastest delivery (almost too fast for my body).


Details: I arrived at the hospital at 7:30 am to be induced. By the time the paper work was all done, I was in my room by 8:30 with my IV in and ready to go. Pitocin was started at 8:45 and my doctor came in at 9:00 and broke my water. All was going fine no pains and I was at 4 cm. Around 10:00 I had my nurse put in the order for my epidural and got it around 10:20. All pain was gone but I could feel LOTS of pressure. I never felt anything with the other two so this was something new (not good new). The pressure got worse and worse really fast. About 1o mins after getting the epidural, the nurse checked me and I was a 7. She frantically started getting everything together (baby's bed, prep table for the doctor etc.) I had told her earlier that I "go" fast after getting my epidural but probably just jinxed myself for saying so. Anyway, the pressure was getting worse by the minute and around 10:40 I was a 10 and the nurse called the doctor. After waiting another 15 mins. on the doctor, pushing started and at 11:05 we had our baby boy with us. We were all shocked at how fast everything went, start to finish, especially the nurses. My poor nurse looked like a mad woman running around prepping things because I came in at a shift change and no one expected a "sprint".


Here are some of our pictures from Friday.

He is so dang cute!!! I love that round little head, and the name is perfect..
The timeline of your delivery with him, sounds an awful lot like mine with Ash.. she was stuck though, so her time of birth was later as she was a c-section.
I am glad you all are doing well.
Too cute...

He is so cute! I'm glad you both are doing well. I had a fast delivery with Zack, so fast there wasn't even time for an IV or epidural. I always joke that he was in a hurry to get here and hasn't slowed down since.
