Aiden's Birth

 We were so happy to find out we were pregnant with another baby. My due date was August 17, 2014. I thought for sure would go into labor a week early or at least before my due date.  It didn't happen though.  I was determined to wait until this baby decided to come on it's own though instead of being induced. I had polyhydramnios though which is extra water in the bag of waters. The doctors were concerned and I was having non stress tests done to make sure everything was ok. As they were testing though this little baby was extremely active. He rarely stopped moving. On Saturday, August 16th we were eating dinner and I started to have some contractions. The hospital we were going to was 45 minutes away in Murray. We decided to head to the hospital. By the time we got to the hospital the contractions had stopped. Joe and I decided to walk around the outside of the hospital for a bit to see if the would start again and that worked. We went to check into the hospital and they put us in a room right away since it was my 5th baby so they thought I'd go fast. It was about 10:30 pm at this point. They were still just monitoring though to make sure I was really in labor. When the doctor came in to check he said, "Let's have a baby" and came and broke my bag of waters. He'd been concerned about my water breaking away from the hospital because of the polyhydramnios so he was happy we had come in. I decided to get the epidural right away. Then we called my parents to let them know. They said they were on their way. I had told the nurse that I tend to stall so she decided we weren't going to let that happen again so she had me in different positions to help out. I did get sick and threw up, which I had hoped wouldn't happen. About 2:15 am on the 17th I started to feel pushy. They came and checked me, but didn't say much.  They asked when my parent's were supposed to get there. We said it should be anytime. Right then they walked in the room and the nurse said, "It's time! Let's have a baby!" After a few pushes Aiden Michael Neratko was born at 2:37 am. He was 8 lbs 13 oz and 21 in. long.
