Well we did it!! I finally had my baby boy! Isaac Mark Hunka was born on November 6, 2008 @ 6:08 p.m. He weighed 7 lbs 5 ozs and he was 21.5 inches long.

It all started at around 5 am on November 6 2008 when my water broke. I couldn't believe it was actually happening. I was nervous, anxious and excited all rolled together. So we drove to the hospital at around 5:15 am and called all immediate family. Well when we got to the hospital I was still only dilated to a 1 and 70% effaced. But I was having some contractions that I couldn't really feel. So they started me on the "pit drip". And then the contractions really started coming. But they were still irregular but they went from like 5 min apart to 1 min apart. And I couldn't take it anymore. So at around 1:30pm or so I got an epidural. I was so nervous about getting an epidural but it didn't hurt at all. And after that I was good. But then I got sick and started throwing up. Which caused me to get a fever, I was running a fever of about 101. So after about 12 hours of labor the doctor came in and checked me again and I was only dilated to a 4 but I was fully effaced. So she decided that it was time for Isaac to come out. And we decided to do a C-section. By this point I didn't care how they got him out of me I was just ready for him to be here. So at 6:08pm Mr. Isaac Hunka was born and our lives would NEVER be the same.

However, Isaac had to be put in NICU because he was born with a fever because I had been running a fever. When he was born he was a fever of 103. But it went down to 98 so he was okay but they still had to pump antibiotics into him for 48 hours and keep an eye on him. Because his blood work came back for possible infection. But after 48 hours he was released to be with his mommy and daddy. It was very hard to not have my baby with me the first days of his life, but I knew that is where he needed to be. And I knew the nurses were taking good care of him. He was the only patient in the NICU so he was getting very spoiled.

On Sunday November 9, 2008 we got to bring Isaac home with us and were so happy. I never thought I could love someone so much like I love my baby boy, I am very blessed.

Below I have put some pictures of Isaac...

My sweet baby boy!

39 weeks of pregnancy...shouldn't this be over by now!

Well we went to the doctor today...well actually we went to the doctor yesterday too b/c I thought my water was breaking. But of course it was not...ugh! But I went for my routine appointment today. Thinking for sure I would have progressed from last weeks appointment. Because I had been having contractions and well because I am just tired of being pregnant. But Dr. Ryan did not have any "really" good news for us. Because I have not progressed AT ALL from last week. I am still dilated at a 1 and 70% effaced...will this ever be over???? I feel like I will be pregnant FOREVER. But he did say that he would not be surprised if I went into labor by the weekend. So we are saying our prayers and keeping our fingers crossed that something happens in the next few days. Because mainly we are ready to meet our precious baby boy and I am just sick and tired of being pregnant. And Jacob is sick of tired of hearing me say I am sick of tired of being pregnant...hehe! So it wasn't a completely depressing appointment but me and Jacob were pretty upset we were hoping for some better news but I guess sooner or later Mr. Isaac will be here. But he is just thinking later rather than sooner...dang it! My next appointment is next Wednesday if I don't have the baby by than, Dr. Ryan is going to do another sonogram to check the position of the baby and the weight. But hopefully he will grace us with his presence this week. I will keep you posted...
