turned into a quick van ride, on oxygen, to Cottage Hospital when Gabriel's heart tones got funky.
I ended up in bed on fetal monitors for a day and a half waiting for something to happen wondering what was going on with his heart tones.
At 8:30 on Tuesday night labor still had not gotten started and we encouraged my husband to go eat dinner. Kathleen volunteered to go get him a pizza. Labor started. It got so hard that I said I was "done," I couldnt do anymore. I was 6 cm dilated; within 2 minutes I was at 10 and my body pushed out a beautiful baby boy at 9:12 pm.
Gabriel, and two very tired parents, spent the 6th day of his life at the pediatricians office trying to figure out his heart tones. We are now planning a trip to Santa Barbara to see a pediatric cardiologist--maybe we can get some answers. Not the "babymoon" we had envisioned and not the birth we had planned, but here we are blessed just the same.

That sounds like such a stressful ordeal - all of it! He's such a beautiful little boy. I hope they are able to figure out what is wrong and that you'll get all the answers you need!
