Baby Rylan Scott here! Thank you Supermoon! I started having very irregular contractions around 4pm while in the movies watching Man of Steel (lol). Got home and just kept an eye on them. Tried walking, too much pain, tried laying too much pain etc etc etc. Just got stronger but not leveled out. Called my doc and the doc on call told me to call back when they were 5mins apart for 1 hour. Ummmm No. I left for the hospital about 10 minutes after talking to him. Arrived at the hospital at 9:45pm at 2cm but contractions 3-4mins apart. They kept me because of the pain and babys heart beat was dipping when I contracted but not bad, just enough to keep an eye on. I FINALLY got my epidural at 1am after being in tears from pain and moved into a delivery room. I was progressing very slowly but I was progressing. 2cm - 3cm - 4cm by about 4am then we all just chilled, tried to sleep. Next check I was at 7cm then progressed the rest every hour. My doctor wanted me to labor down and have the baby do the work so we did. My water had still not broken so hey why not. Finally started pushing around 12:45pm on Monday afternoon. At 2:29pm Rylan Scott Bosley-Smith was brought into this world at 8lbs 8oz and 22inches long! He is beautiful and perfect and all of the immense pain (I felt just about everything, even puked it was so bad) just melted away. My life had been changed forever and I was in heaven. He was immediately put skin to skin and stayed there for my one hour repair. Fourth degree tears. My family was going crazy trying to get in the room but I was so happy to have our bonding time. Daddy had even watched the entire thing which neither of us expected but he just grabbed a leg and got in the action. We were released yesterday and are getting comfortable at home. I am in love and my life will never be the same. I fell in love on Monday afternoon. love
