Going home to meet big brother Hudson

On October 1, 2010 the day began at 6:00 am. I was up and ready to head to Evergreen for my induction and to meet my baby. We were scheduled to check in at 7:00am, but because the hospital was busy they called and asked us to come in at 8:30 (this was a blessing). Now that we didn't have to leave so early we were able to have breakfast with Hudson and say goodbye to him before we left. I felt so emotional leaving, even though I know he would be more than happy with Grandma and Grandpa. We arrived at Evergreen checked in and headed to our room. I was thrilled to meet my first nurse Robyn she was outgoing and fun to talk to. Since I was being induced I most likely had a long day ahead of me. Around 6:45 they check me and said I was at a 6 and that John had plenty of time to run and get some dinner. Soon after he left I felt I was ready. I told my nurse and she looked at me in bit of disbelief, but checked. Sure enough it was go time! I called John and told him to get back as soon as possible and hung up. He came running in the door 10 minutes later at 7:50. Bennett was born at 8:28 pm. He was 8 lbs 11 oz and 21 inches long...perfection!
