Case Van Boswell is here

Thurs evening had some more bleeding, so doctor said she either wanted to do c-section that night, or watch me overnight and try vaginal delivery in the morning. I opted to wait and try in the morning.

About 12 hours after starting pitosin, Case made his entrance at 7:27 pm. The doctor came by at 6:00 pm and said I was not progressing as she hoped and that she would give me 1 hour to make significant progress or she would do c-section. He was sunny-side up and I was not getting past 4 cm.

Well, I laid there (in the most strange position, trying to get him to turn) while Jeremy watched Father of the Bride. I prayed that if it was safe for Case that God would turn him and that I would progress, otherwise, I asked God that I would not progress. Well, 1 hour later I was 8 cm and he had turned. The doctor stayed to visit for about 5 minute, and I told her I was feeling alot of pressure--she checked again, and I was 9 cm and complete. She went to grab a drink, then I hit my call button and told the nurse--"I am feeling the urge to push." The doctor came back and said, "yep, I see the head!" Boy, God really took over and answered my prayer with clarity!

He weighed 6 lbs and 3 oz, was 19 1/2 inches and had good apgar scores and is doing fabulous! We have had a wonderful delivery experience here in OK! Thank you all for praying for us, especially over the past week.
