Trystan Jeffery McGuire was born on Sunday, August 19 2007 at 3:18 pm. His weight was the same as Sydney at 7 lbs 5 oz and measured 19 cm in length. We feel really blessed to have another healthy, beautiful baby and it was quite the experience bringing him into this world. Celest woke up at 1:00 am on Sunday morning having some intense contractions that weren't necessarily painful, but uncomfortable. She just endured those contractions until we arrived at the hospital at 9:45 am. At that time, she was checked and her cervix was dialated 7 cm. We were both excited that this would be a fairly smooth birth. Little did we know.......About 45 min later, she was dialated 10 cm and it was time to start pushing. After about 30 minutes pushing, there was very little progress being made, so the doctor was able to determine that the baby was posterior and wasn't moving down the birth canal. Our doctor attempted turning the baby around several times, which resulted in a lot of pain for Celest, and we decided to try our luck with an epidural so the doctor could do what he needed without Celest suffering as much. Again, the epidural was unsucessful, and we had one last attempt before resorting to a cesarian. The doctor suggest using the vacuum to rotate the baby, and fortunate for us it worked!! We were so relieved. In all, Celest was pushing for 3.5-4 hours. She is such a tuffie. I wish I were that tough. Anyways, it was quite the ordeal, but well worth it.
