Baby Andrew Scott Hendriksen is finally here! He is the most adorable baby ever! He has the sweetest personality. He hardly ever cries and he just opens up his eyes and is curious about everything all day. Everything went very smoothly with the delivery and labor. We checked into the hospital at 7am and they started to give me petosin (can't spell) so that my contractions would get harder. After an hour or two the doctor came in and examined me and my water broke. After my water broke the contractions immediately intensified and I was in excruciating pain. I did not get the epidural fast enough. The doctors took forever coming to give me the epidural and it is a teaching hospital so they had students there learning how to give an epidural so it took even longer. I was screaming for about an hour and finally they got it in. About 10 minutes after the epidural the doctor came to check me and I was already dilated to a ten. So he said lets push. I pushed for about 15 minutes and the baby came right out. It was incredible! He is so beautiful. It was a really great blessing how well everything went. I can't believe how fast it all went. He was born at 7lbs 5 oz and 20inches long. He is a pretty big guy. We are just so excited and happy to finally have him with us :)
