Sammy was born on July 6, 2010 at 12:51pm and weighed in at 8 lbs. 6 oz. Unlike my other 2 boys who made their appearance early, Sam got too comfortable in his home of 10 months and had to be evicted. I was very nervous about being induced as I was fully aware that pitocin can make labor much more intensive. The contractions were fine until I reached 6 cm and then the back labor kicked into full gear. Little Sam was turned looking sideways (laying on his side) as he exited out, giving mom and the medical staff a run for their money. But a little help from the doc, some oxygen for mom and Sam and 4 contractions later, Samuel Charles was born.
