After our doctor's visit on Tuesday, they found that Ashley's fluid level was low again, but it was lower than before, so the doctors decided to put us in the hospital. The plan was to induce the next morning. Around 3 a.m., they began the induction process. By 10:30 a.m., contractions were being felt, but Ashley had not started dialating. Dr. Harris then mentioned that we may need to consider a c-section.
This was a nervous and anxious time for us because we hadn't really considered a section, and Ashley was strongly against it. But they talked us through the process, and we understood that we would do whatever it would take to insure Trace would arrive safely. Around 3:00 they checked Ashley again and still no progress, so the decision was made to do a section around 5ish. So just about 5:00, they began preparing us for the proceedure.
It turned out to not be as bad as we thought and everyone made us comfortable and relaxed in the surgury room. It was not long before we heard Trace's cries. It was a joyous moment that we had long been anticipating.
More updates to come on how Trace spent his first few days to follow.
