Hyrum Madison Peavoy

Hyrum Madison Peavoy
Hyrum was born on Thursday, November 11, 2010! He was 10 lbs 4 oz and 21 1/2 inches long! We didn't have quite the gathering at this birth as we did at the last, just Bill, Cindy and my Mom. I decided enough was enough in the waiting game and sent my Mom to go and get me some Castor Oil. I decided to take it at 7:00 pm, even though everybody recomends taking it in the morning, because I like having my babies while my boys are sleeping so they don't have to go to a babysitter. I had a nice bath and even put a mud mask on my face to relax. Got out of the bath, kissed boys goodnight, watched an episode of Star Trek and then at 10:00pm I got my first contraction. The contractions were not what I would call normal. They were very short and very strong. Lasting only 30 seconds but coming 30 seconds apart. They eventually got more normal, I called my midwife, told her about my taking castor oil, got a little lecture on why mornings are better then night, and told her I'd call back in a half hour to let her know if things were progressing. Just before 11:00 pm my water broke and the contractions got stronger. I called Cindy (my midwife) and told her to come over. Cindy arrived just after 11:00 checked the baby's stats, and then checked me. She said I was 9 cm dilated and that the baby would come soon. I figured at nine cm I would have to wait a while to push, but then suddenly my body was pushing, so I went along with it. Within minutes I felt his head crown, but before I could register the burning his head was out, and his shoulders were engaged, one more push and there was this beautiful boy at 11:27 pm. I actually had to call for my Mom to run during a push so she wouldn't miss him coming out! He is perfect in every way! HUGE and lovely.
