Parker Lee Cagle! Arrived 8/23/2009 6 lbs 7 oz 19 inches long. I can't believe the timing this little guy had! My brother Jared got married Saturday 8/22/09. I was on bed rest but snuck myself to the temple for the ceremony. I contracted through the sealing but it wasn't anything big. I went home drank lots of water and took a nap and the contractions stopped. I went to the reception and sat the whole time and felt pretty good. I was so sick of telling everybody when I was due and what's going on. Everybody was like, "Wouldn't it be nice if he came tommorrow?" I honestly thought that was a long shot. Well, at 2:15 a.m. Sunday morning my water broke! I was literally laughing because I couldn't believe the timing! So we called my poor exhausted mother and she willingly came over and slept on the couch so that we could leave Macy in bed. We got to the hospital at about 3:00 a.m. and just waited for things to progress. I was already 90% effaced and 3 cm the week before, so that was really nice. I didn't have much work to do. I actually had to experience real contractions this time though. With Macy I was induced, and got the epidural before I felt anything too uncomfortable. The epidural this time came a lot later because they called the wrong anesthesiologist. He seemed kind of grumpy when he got there which was strange because he's the same guy I had last time and he was way cool. Anyways, the epidural made me numb up to my neck and I still felt every single contraction. The edge was taken away, but I felt them all! And it lowered my blood pressure so much that I got sick and was throwing up the whole time. I was also Group B positive so they had to hurry some penecillin into me through an IV which burned so bad!!!!! That made me throw up just from the pain, but at least it took my mind off of the contractions!?!?! Anyways, I started pushing at 9:40ish and had Parker at exactly 10:00 a.m. Sunday morning! We're so blessed that everything worked out so well! He's so healthy and perfect and beautiful! Macy is doing really well with him too. We'll see how she does starting tommorrow with no Grandma's around. She got pretty darn spoiled this week! Anyways, I'm glad it's all done and I'm glad we are all healthy! Thanks for all your prayers! They were heard and things couldn't have been better.
