Zayne Alexander Parker was born on March 2, 2007. I had a doctors appt with Dr. Holmes the same doctor that delivered Zach, the day before I delivered. He ended up stripping my membranes. He told me to come in the following morning before his office opened and he would strip my membranes again. He really wanted to help me get this little guy coming. I had preeclampsia again, and was extremely swollen, but my blood pressure was not high enough to get me admitted into the hospital. We dropped of Zachary at Grandma-pa Parkers house and Jon and I went in to see Dr. Holmes and his nurse. While he was stripping my membranes my water broke! So awesome! I headed home, took a shower, got my bag and then we headed back to the hospital. By 11:30 I was in my room and by about 1:30 I had my epidural. I was sleepy so I took a nap. (gotta love havin an epidural). At about 4:30 the doctor came back in to check me and said I was ready to push. He had a doctor intern with him who observed the delivery. It was really cool to hear my doctor explain everything that was happening to the other doctor. I only had to push a handful of times, Zayne was born at 5:05 pm he weighed 7lbs 13ounces and was 20 inches long. Just like Zach, he was a great baby. After about 2 months he was sleeping through the night. He was never fussy and was a joy to have around.
