Scott Paul Bowden is HERE!!

Little Scott is here and man is he a sweet heart!!

Here is the story (I will try to keep it brief):

Grandma and Grandpa were gracious enough to watch Marshall so we brought him up to Salt Lake on Wednesday night because I was scheduled to be induced the next day. Luckily we did that because they called and told us to be there by 6 a.m.

So we arrived at the hospital at about 6 a.m. the next day, Thursday October 13th. At about 6:30 I was at a 3 and 80%. I made it pretty dang clear that I wanted my epidural before I got pitocin or before breaking my water. So I did. That all went well! At about 8 I got my epidural and soon after had my water broken. Then they started the pitocin at about 8:30. There was something wrong with the tubing so it didn't start right off.. it took a half hour or more. Around then I was just a 3+. Scott's blood pressure was going down so I was pushed over to one side and had to wear an oxygen mask. At about 10:30 or so I started to feel pressure and feel like I was ready to push. I felt this with Marshall for about 2 hours. It hurt pretty bad but there was nothing they could do because I wasn't to a 10 yet. Anyway.. the nurses left and the contractions/pressure got really bad. I told Brady to call them to ask them to come help me. They weren't going to come in for 10 more minutes. The next contraction (which were about 2 minutes apart) hurt so bad I couldn't help but cry and had to squeeze the bed rail. I told Brady to call the nurses and tell them to get in here RIGHT NOW! I had progressed so fast. I was at a 10, 100%, and ready to go. That is sure what I felt. I thought Scott was going to come out! They pushed me on my back and gave an extra dose which numbed me up to my chest! I had to get through about 15 or 20 minutes more of hard contractions though before the epidural got to my right side again. That was so horrible.

Well, the nurse had me push a couple times just to get Scott to be positioned right and see how fast I was going to go. But, we had to close my legs while we waited for the Doc because Scott was about to pop right out. I probably could've had him at least 30 minutes earlier if the doc was there. So the Doc was doing something down there and never told me to push. Then all of a sudden Scott was out and I was so confused! He just gently pulled him out. He was so ready. He did have the cord wrapped around his neck but the Doc just twisted him a little and got that right off. He was born at 11:31 at 7lbs 6 oz and 20.5 inches. I could've done without feeling the contractions, that is for sure. But, it went really well and pretty dang fast.. especially for an induction. Brady did great! He didn't pass out and was able to cut the cord again!

Nasty!

A little wiped off.

He still looks pretty close to this but a little older! We need to get some pictures with his eyes open.

I love that his toes are like little dots!

Marshall had so much fun a Grandma and Grandpa Marshall's! They took really good care of him! Thanks again for doing that!

They really spoiled him and played with him the whole time.

Grandpa even took him to the park!

Marshall was so funny when he came to the hospital. I think he was just thinking he didn't know where he was and then all of a sudden he sees his mom and dad. He just had this confused look on his face for a while. Even after coming and saying hi to us. It was hilarious!

Scott gave Marshall a train!

Great Grandma and Grandpa Marshall with Scott!

Marshall's first time holding Scott! He did so good! He really likes him! He is pretty gentle with him most if the time. It is really cute!

We are so excited that Scott is finally here! He is so far a pretty good baby and is just a sweet heart! We love him so much!
