Luke James Evans

Luke James Evans arrived Sunday, Nov 22nd, 2009. My labor started around 3:30 p.m. and wasn't all that bad so I thought that maybe it was false labor again....so I took a shower and cleaned our room. Then about 5:00 the contractions started to get more intense so I had Jimmy start to time them...they were still like 10 min apart so I called my sister to come sit with the kids (she lives 45 min away). I couldn't get a hold of her but at this point I wasnt all that worried. At 530 she called me back and I was still calm...I told her just to take her time and start on her way. Shortly after that the contractions jumped to 4 min apart but I figured we still had time. 10 min later they were one min apart and I was crying through each contraction. Jimmy started to panic at this point because my sister had just left her house. So, he started calling people we knew to come sit with the kids but no one was home...he finally got a hold of his friend who was here in like 5 min. We left for the hospital and when we got there I could barely walk to the Labor and Delivery floor....when we got up there they took one look at me and put us right in a room. I was only dialated to four when we arrived so everyone was thinking we had plenty of time...by the time they got my i.v. in I was already feeling pressure like I needed to push...they checked me again and said I was still at a four...but they broke my water anyway and he was out 5 min later. The doctor had nothing ready and was not prepared for him to come out that quick, so she literally held him inside me (ouch!). I was so shocked that he had come so quickly...that it took my mind a min to register that he was out. Anyway, he is wonderful. He is a sleepy head and loves to drink his mama's milk :) We are so happy to have him.
