Friday the thirteenth began like any other Friday with Brandon and I thankful it was the end of the week. Throughout the day I had been feeling "flu-ish", but brushed it off thinking I might be getting the stomach flu that Brandon had been dealing with days earlier. I left work at 10:00 a.m. to meet with Dr. Pitts, my OB-GYN for my weekly appointment. I told him I was ready to meet my little one and was disappointed to find out I was only dilated to 1 cm and 50% effaced. After leaving my appointment I went to the gym and ran 5 miles before meeting up with Lynsey to run errands. By 2:30 p.m. I was ready to go home and rest because my stomach cramps were wearing on me. Who knew that soon enough our lives would change forever.
Kane Lewis Hoglund was born January 14th, 2012 at 12:55 p.m. He weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. Brandon and I arrived at the hospital around 6:00 p.m. on Friday the thirteenth with questions of whether I was in labor or just having false contractions. It took just 6 hours and 55 minutes from the time we headed to the hospital to the time we met our first child. Labor went very smoothly considering I only had to push for about 25 minutes once I was 10 cm dilated. We were blessed to be accompanied by my mom and sister and Brandon's mom and sister during labor and delivery. I remember the first moment I saw him I knew I was in love. The thing that really stuck out to us was he never cried or made a sound until minutes later. He was born with one eye open and peering around quietly at the world. He was perfect and he was all ours.
