Luke Andrew Sessler is finally here...and we are so much in love! Luke was born on February 14...our little Valentines Day surprise! Mommy woke up at 2am with contractions (but nothing that different than what I'd had all along!). I thought they would stop, but instead they progressively got worse and around 4am I was pretty sure my water started leaking. Rob heard me up get up around that time and asked if I was okay and I told him "ummm...I'm not so sure...I think we might be going to the hospital." Rob's response in his very sleepy voice..."okay, just wake me up when you want to go and I'll be ready in 1 minute!" I LOVE it...and will never forget his response. So, I waited until about 6am to wake him up and say lets go...and we left around 6:30. When the nurse checked me at the hospital I was already 6-7 cm dilated which was a complete and total shock since I had been having contractions for 9 weeks and only dilated to 1 cm!!!! I had to wait WAY too long for my epidural...but oh how much better it felt after I got it! Rob and our parents enjoyed telling me how strong my contractions were by keeping a close eye on the monitor...I really didn't want to know! HAHA! I quickly dilated to 8 and then to 10 and pushed for 2 1/2 hours before having to have a c-section because our little guy just wasn't going to come out! It was a very long day for all of us!
We remained in the hospital until Wednesday with daddy right by our side the whole time. Rob changed every diaper and cleaned up every spit up those first few days, and I feel in love with him all over again seeing him be a daddy to Luke. He has continued to be great at home, taking care of Luke and I, as well as running all the errands and doing a lot of things around the house since I can't do a lot of things because of having a c-section. I couldn't ask for a better husband or daddy!
I will post pictures soon...but for now, I have to go feed our little guy!
