Birth Story



Kiana is finally here! Wednesday morning at 7am I went in to the hospital to be induced. At around 8:30 they checked me and i was only dilated 2cm so the doctor broke my water and started the pitocin at around 8:45am. At around 9:00 the contractions were stronger and closer together so they turned off the pitocin and checked me again and i was already at 7cm by then the pain was pretty unbearable so i asked for an epidural however by the time the anesthesiologist got there i had dilated to 9cm and they said that it probably wouldn't take before the baby came. AT 10:33 Kiana Parker was born. She weighed 6lbs 10.3oz and was 19inches long. Has a lot of brown hair and brown eyes. She's a beautiful baby and looks alot like her big sister. At first Kiana had a rough time maintaining her body temp but after a little stay in her warmer she warmed up and started maintaining her temp on her own.
