Eli finally came to see us at 7:30 pm on Tuesday August 5th. We went in at 7:15 am to be induced and 12 hours (and several needle sticks) later had the most beautiful baby boy we've ever seen. They had to try 5 times to get the epidural (that means 2 numbing shots and 1 huge epidural needle sticking me in the back multiplied by 5) but finally they got it and boy was it worth it! I'm in the lucky 1% who gets what's called a "wet tap" with the epidural which means they went in too far and punctured something that leaks out spinal fluid. It causes really bad migranes for about 8 days but again, it was all worth it. Okay, enough about that, here he is in all his glory. He had quite the cone head at first!
