Alex Thomas Schaefer
Birth date: February 2, 10 at Liberty Hospital
Time: 10:21 AM
Weight: 8.7 LBS
Height: 21 inchesOur First Family picture after 28 hours and 30 minutes of labor. My water broke at 6 AM. Labor pain didn't start until I was induced. It started after 4 hours. I got an epidural when I was 3cm dilated which was 12 hours later. Progression was just super slow and the nurse told me that I might end up getting a C-section if I don't dilate more within 24 hours, so the baby won't get an infection. After 24 hours, I started progressing. It was a relief when the doctor said they can wait and observe few more hours since Alex is doing great inside my belly! It was a long journey. Longer than I expected. The pushing part was hard. It took me almost 2 hours. Alex's just so big. But I am glad I had an epidural. I didn't feel any pain at all except a little pressure. It worked 100% on me.Isaac was an awesome labor coach. I wished somebody recorded him at that moment. He made it easier for me and I was so determined to keep on going because of him. I had a normal delivery and we are so grateful for that. We made it! Alex is here and he's every inch of an ANGEL. He's so worth it!
