Public Service Announcement: Lets stop with all the Maybe #5 will be a girl! or 4 boys! Are you going to try for the girl? Comments. Please. Before my wife punches you in the throat. Lol! In all seriousness, Aiden is 15 days old. We are LOVING every single second of him. But he will be our LAST baby. Ive never wanted to admit we were done having kids. Even when we thought we were done after Joey. We had 2 miscarriages back-to-back early last year, and the heart-break from that was not something we envisioned risking again. Now by the Grace of God, Aiden is here after what was a healthy pregnancy. But his delivery scared the ever-loving crap out of us enough to say, Yeah, THAT is not happening again. We were originally scheduled for an induction on Friday,10/24. We made arrangements for the kids, work, etc. Bags were packed, and we were ready to go. On Thursday night at 6:30, we got a call saying Sorry! We overbooked and cant induce you tomorrow. Come Monday instead. We instead went for an NST on Friday, which Aiden FAILED. After an ultrasound, we got the all clear and were locked in to induce on Monday, 10/27. Fast-forward to Monday, we get to the hospital, and it takes 2 nurses and an anesthesiologist about 2 hours to find a vein to start pitocin. The further along we got, the scarier things got. Aidens heart rate was dropping with every contraction. Meconium. Exhaustion. A nurse and 2 neonatologists in the room, along with the OB, who basically told me to go sit down and stay out of the way. Katie was screaming that something wasnt right and that they should just take her back for a c-section. So I sat. And prayed. HARD. Aiden was born with the cord wrapped tightly around his neck, a purple face, and pasty white body. He was limp and motionless, and didnt make a sound when the OB suctioned his nose and mouth. The OB yelled at me to cut the cord FAST if I was going to do it at all. I sprinted and cut, and immediately the neonatologists swooped him up and away. I went up next to Katies head so she did not see what I saw, and again prayed HARD. Thank GOD, not 5 seconds later, we heard the sound of that sweet newborn cry...the sound of prayers being answered. So NO, we will NOT be having another, and we are FINE with that. We are loving this little man with everything we have, just as we do our other 3 boys, and we are totally fine with not having any girls. My Dad always talked about carrying on the Wilson name with boys anyway. ;)
