Maximus Ayden LaBaw

My little guy finally made his appearance.



It all started on Friday morning at 8:30. I was asleep and the phone woke me up. It was the hospital and I was in shock because my doctor was out of town and had called me the day before and told me who was covering for him in case I went on my own. If nothing happened he would see me on Monday and scheduled me an appointment. All I could think when I saw that on the caller ID was what's wrong.

I picked up the phone and the voice on the other end says "Tiffany?"
Me:yes
Hospital: Where do you live.
Me: Orem
Hospital: Can you be her in 45 minutes?
Me: Do you know that my doctor is out of town?
Hospital: Yes. No problem though he has someone covering for him. We have an opening do you want it.
Me: You bet I'll be there.
I hang up call Mike to tell him to meet me at the hospital. Luckily he was just finishing a job so he could head straight back to the shop and then the hospital. I called my mom to wake up my sister so she could come get Kloey and my mom met me at the hospital to be with me until Mike could get there.
I got to the hospital and they got me all set up. (blew out 2 veins made me sick then finally got in the IV.) They put me on the machine and I was having contractions every 4 minutes on my own and I was dilated to a 4+ so the nurse thinks I probably would have went on my own over the weekend. Anyways the nurse calls to get the orders to start the pit and my doctor is mad cuz he told them to cancel me. But since I was all set up he gave me the choice of if I wanted to go home or have the on call Doctor Deliver. Um Hello I am staying I was not going home from that hospital one more time without a baby.
The started the pit around 11:15. Broke my water at 1:15 and I was mushing at 2:30.
I was a little scared during delivery and pushing as hard as I could because with every contractions the babies heart rate would drop and the doctor just had that concerned look on his face. He even had them get the vacuum ready and had an extra person in there for resuscitation. You all know that I am such an emotional person but I knew I had to hold it together for my little baby and get him out. I pushed as hard as I could with every contraction and tried not to look at Mike cuz I knew I would lose it if I looked at him. I held it together and got him out and he started screaming right away and had great color. He was perfect. The contractions were just squeezing his head too tight.
Max was born at 2:51 PM. He weighed 8 lbs and 1 oz and was 20 inches long. He is perfect and a great baby. He hardly cries only when it's time to eat or if he's poopie.
Kloey loves him and is so gentle with him. She has been really good. She's a little emotional but has taken this a lot better than I expected. We are doing our best to distribute our attention.
Right now we are just resting and taking it easy. I am enjoying spending this time with my beautiful babies.
