Daxton Bradley Hutchings

Our amazing little angel finally arrived as you all know! We couldn't be happier with every little moment! We sure love this boy!!
His birth story isn't too crazy but figured we would write it out so family can hear about it! Tuesday February 26, 2013 I decided after lunch I was going to walk the mall knowing I had at doctor appointment the next morning thinking its help him to make his move! I left at 1:40 and got home by 4, the whole day Brad kept texting me for updates. We knew labor was getting close. Brad got home and we ran back to the mall to return something. We headed to Red Robin for dinner and I noticed at 6 my pain was definately increasing! We stayed and ate but I was timing them and talking to my mom. By 7 I was in enough pain we headed to the hospital. Car was ore packed though, we knew he'd come when we weren't home!
So we got hooked up and I was contracting every 2 minutes but after 5 painful hours and the morphine not working they sent us home. I was so upset. I didn't sleep because the contractions kept coming. I told Brad to rest for our doctor appointment the next morning and I paced the house trying to relieve pain unsuccessfully until 8:30.
At our appointment and to my amazement the doctor told us we were at a 4 and Daxton would be here today! I called our parents and off we went!
At the hospital I got the epidural and it worked great from 10:30 until 2. Then I could feel everything again! Ouch! Trying to ignore it we played cards and hung out with Brads parents. At 5 the doctor came in and said it time! Well by then my epidural was gone. Without it we pushed and found out quickly my extreme back pain was due to him being posterior. The doctor luckily rotated him saving me a lot of pain and only a bruised tailbone! By 5:41 our little boy came out screaming and Brad and I finally got to meet him! Dad got to cut the cord and we got to snuggle him the whole night!
We got to go home by Friday and Saturday at the doctor for Daxton found out his bilirubin level was too high so it was either hospital or home treatment if he was low enough. He made it by .4. Whew! He also was tongue tied and had to have his tongue snipped ouch! That was quickly over and he was his happy self in an hour! I ended up getting mastitis the next day and Brad got a sinus infection! Man it was tough!! Luckily my mom was here to save us and help so so much!!
We couldn't be luckier!! Brad has been the biggest help!! Along with our parents. It's been a wonderful 6 days! I can't believe it's going so fast! Brad and I got his baby pictures done today and have just spent time together. We love being parents and are excited to share our stories and future of this little boy with you all!

Love The Hutchings!!
