Collin Matthew Montgomery

On Sunday October 4th, I started feeling really uncomfortable. About 11:30 am I started to have some pretty bad back pain. The time able contractions started shortly after that. So after calling the hospital, I decided to go in to just get checked.

When they checked me, I hadn't made any change from the week before when I went in with contractions. The nurse said they would just monitor me and then decide what to do. She checked me again around 1 and I was the same. I thought for sure I was going home. She called the Dr and he said he would be in to check me shortly. Around 3:30 he came and checked me, he said I was a little more dilated but not much. I was still having consistent contractions so he went to call my Dr. and said he would make the call. I still thought I was going home. Then all of a sudden he comes in and says, your having the baby today! Since I had to have a repeat C-section they didn't want to send me home having contractions, and have me go into really active labour. So I had to call my mom, who ended up having 30 min to catch a flight, she ended up making it from Fl to here in just over 9 hours. I also had to get Alan there since I left him at home with the kids. It was CRAZY, I was shaking really bad because I was so nervous!

So Collin was born at 5:17 pm on October 4th. He weighed in at 7lbs 3 oz and was 20 1/2 inches. He is our smallest baby, ironically Grace was our biggest. The C-section went really well, It was odd walking into the delivery room on my own. The spinal was awesome, much better than a standard epidural. It was a much better experience than with Preston.

We are all doing well, the kids are adjusting well also. Here are some pictures from the past week.

























So I have been pee'd on by my kids, and puked on, but up until now I have never been pooped on. It was so gross!
