Welcome to the World CJ!

After 40+ weeks of being pregnant and being stuck in the "latent labor" stage for a week, we finally got to meet our 2nd "surprise" baby!! On Feb. 10th my water broke and the active labor began. Mid-way thru the labor baby had compressed a nerve that sent a message to my brain and told me to stop breathing, turn white and pretty much shut down. I am so thankful for the nurse and doctors God gave me that night! Once I "came back" they started Pitocin... can you say contractions from hell?! After I was stable for a few hours, they gave me an epidural. From that point on I went from 6cm to 9cm in less than 30minutes! James went to get coffee and was gone less than 15minutes. In that short time I fully dilated and was ready to push. When the nurses found James and he came back it was time to meet baby. Four pushes later and CJ was born!!! (Less than 10min. of pushing- including the practice pushes.)

Chester Josiah Winton was born on February 11th at 7:33am.
He weighed 8lbs 15oz and is 21 inches long.
