October 3, 2009 is a day that changed our lives FOREVER!! At 4am my water broke and we were soon on our way to the hospital. After we arrived it was confirmed that my water did break and because we had chosen to do things "naturally" I was instructed to "start walkin"!! And walk I did...for about 3 hours we walked and walked and walked. My mom and Jacob's mom were at the hospital with us through the entire thing.
Making a long story short, I wasn't contracting like I should be and wasn't progressing as quickly as I needed to to go completely naturally without an excruciating amout of pain. We made a few revisions to our plan and one thing leading to another we were ready to start pushing at about 2:30am!! Lucas was born shortly after that at 4:50am and we couldn't have been happier!! We had asked the Doctor if it was ok if Jacob told me the gender of our baby, because we had kept it a surprise this whole time. I will never forget the tone in Jacob's voice when he said to me "It's a Boy Sarah, we have a Son!! Lucas is here!!" It was the most wonderful news I had ever been told!
Lucas Monroe Scott was born October 4, 2009 at 4:50am. He weighed 9lbs, 1oz and was 20.5 inches long. His head...14"...this is a big boy!! He is our pride and joy. He is a very laid back baby, with a head of brown hair...and he has his mama's blue eyes! We love him so much!
Thank you to everyone who prayed for us, encouraged us and were just "there" for us. We love you so much!
