Colton Jason Collier

Colton was born on August 1st, 2009 at 12:10AM. He weighed 7lbs. 8oz. and was 20in long. He is the cutest little guy and we love him more than anything! Jason and I went in for my 39 week check up on July 31st, and my doctor decided she wanted to induce due to my blood pressure being too high. We headed to the hospital around 11:30AM. The nurse started the pitocin at 1:00pm. The contractions started right away, but I waited until 5:00pm to get my epidural. Everything felt great until 9:00pm when the epidural started to wear off. I received a second dose, and everything seemed to be great again. 40 minutes later I went from no pain, to the worst pain of my life! I could feel every horrible contraction and was fully dilated and ready to push. I was very emotional for the next couple of hours. We had to wait on the anesthesiologist, who was in a c-section. He finally arrived around 11:00PM to re-administer the epidural. This man saved my life! We were wondering if Colton was going to be a July or August baby. I started pushing right after everything kicked in, and our baby boy arrived at 12:10AM. August 1st it is! Although my labor was tough for a few hours, I would do it all over again for our little guy. He is perfect and we are head over heels in love. We are truly blessed!
