The Details:
Sunday morning, I started having a few contractions around 6:30 AM, about 7:00 AM I said to Ben that I thought I was in labor...but wasn't for sure since the contractions were kind of sporadic and coming at different intensities. I decided that a few were hurting more and that we definitely needed to get the kids ready go to a friend’s house. You would think I would have this all figured out by my 4th child. By 8:30 AM, we went to the hospital, but walked around outside because I still wasn't sure. Once we decided to check in, I found out I was already dilated to a 7. I don't know if it was psychological, because after that, the contractions really started to hurt. But, once I got my epidural...life was great! Took a nap, relaxed, hung out for a while. I love who ever invented the epidural! Even the after pains didn't hurt at all. The only hiccup was that Caden was stuck and I had to push for 1 1/2 hours. I was pretty tired by the end of it. During the last push, they used a vacuum to help get him out. Don't worry; he only had a cone head for a little bit! The recovery was just great, and Teya, Kali, and Chris are all excited for their little brother. Now all he has to do is sleep through the night! wink!
I must add that Ben and Popo (grandma dong) have been wonderful. I haven't had to lift a finger once (except for Caden that is). I love Benjamin so much, he's the best husband and father!

Hey guys! Nice work! Kids are awesome. I hope he's a little more rambunctious than I remember your other kids being. ;)
CONGRATS! We were in Yakima last weekend and I saw your hubby with the older 3 kids at church. When we're back in three weeks maybe we can swing by and see your house and this new adorable addition. Gosh...you guys make freaking cute kids!!! Hope you are doing well!
What a cutie (as usual)! Good work Mamie! I'm glad you had an epidural for the 1 1/2 hour push! Four kids now - wow! You guys are great and we miss you a ton!
Congratulations you guys! What a beautiful family you have! By the way, I'm with you on the epidural Mamie. Ever since I had one with Matthew's birth, I've always said that the epidural is one of the greatest inventions known to womankind. ;)
