Baby McKinley Susan Kunz joined our family
October 18, 2014 at 10:13pm
weighing 8 lbs. 6 oz. measuring 21 inches long
At 36 weeks McKinley dropped but at 38 weeks she floated back up.
Tricking us to think she was going to come soon. ha! for the next week and a half she kept going back and
forth. When I checked into the hospital on Oct. 18th at around 10 am I was dilated to a 4 at -2 station. After a couple of hours of labor McKinley floated back up and I was only dilated to a 5. Everyone thought for sure I would have her quickly since this is my 5th baby but she fooled us all! for the next 12 hours she kept doing the same thing....down and up.
They waited hours before breaking my water because they didn't want to risk breaking it while
she was floating and then have the umbilical cord wrap around her head or else come out first.
After many hours of little progress of dilation and after they broke my water I was given Pitocin to speed up
the labor process. I went super fast after they gave me a little Pitocin.
McKinley is such a good baby! She eats every 3-6 hours. She wakes up once in the middle of the night to eat.
She barely cries and loves to be held or cuddled!
