Happy 1 year Birthday! I spent the whole day remembering your birth. I remember feeling so anxious the night before you were born. We were at the hospital at 5:30am to start the induction process. We were so excited/nervous. After we filled out all of our paperwork, we headed up to our room. Dr. Tsaltas broke my water and started the pitocin. We waited and waited. The contractions started, and I decided I would wait a little while for the epidural. That did not last too long..after 2 hours, I was ready for the epidural. We waited some more and while we waited, we had many visitors. (GG, Papa Mark, Mimi, Papa, Aunt Amanda, Jason, Ali, Dave and Erica) I thought I was slowly progressing and was not the least bit worried. At 3:30, Dr. Tsaltas came to check on us. He said that you were stuck, and he would schedule a c-section within the next hour. They wheeled me back around 5:00pm. You were born at 5:33pm. We are such proud parents! We can't express the love and joy you bring to our lives.
