our Journey to Zack

Well its been a week with our son Zack and I can't believe all that has happen in the last week.
We started our on May 8 planning to go in and get induced. They told us to call at 6am and then they would tell us what time to come in. At 500am we were all ready up and waiting for 6 to come. 5:59am I was dialing the number. They told us to call back at 8 because they were doing shift change and don't have a time right now. So we laid back in bed and waited. 759 am I dialed again. This time they said to wait until 10am and call back. I was a little on the frustrated side at that point. But I tried to stay calm and do things to keep my mind off of it. So 959am came and I called again. This time they said to call at 2pm. I was a little devasted this time. Jeremy could tell how upset I was getting so he told me to get dressed because we were going to go do something. We had these passes to the Wild Animal Park so we decided to go there. It was fun seeing the animals. The real purpose was that we thought if I was to walk around the park enough then I would go into labor and the hospital would have no choice but to take us.

well we called back at 2 and they said call tomorrow because today is just not looking good. We were bummed again! I called the hospital the next morning and they gave us the green light and said come on in whenever you can. I told them I would be there in 20 minutes and we were off. We got to the hospital and did the paper work and all that fun stuff. By 9am we were starting the first part of being induced. Everything went smoothly to progress the labor but he wasn't dropping. So after 17 hours of labor, the doctor finally said we are going to have to have a c section.

At 12:31am on May 10, 2010 Zachary Cobas Hoy was born 8lbs 11 ounces, 20.5 inches long.
