The Streit Family is proud to announce that on Monday October 17 at 7:16am we proudly welcomed Aidan Paul into our family, weighing 7 lbs 8oz and 20 inches long.
My water broke at 4:30am, that is when I knew that this baby was coming today. He was listening to Grandpa David. (My dad had to travel back to New York, and if he hadn't arrived this weekend he wouldn't have seen him for almost 3 WEEKS. My dad was thrilled that it all worked out and Mr. Aidan listened to his grandpa.) I called my mom at about 4:45am and told her about my water, by 5:30 I called again and told her she should probably start making her way over to the house. In the mean time, we also called my mother in law, Barb, and she decided as well to make her way over to the house as well. By 6am we decided to make our way to the hospital. My mom came with us, and Barb stayed at the house to watch Calleigh. We got to the hospital and got checked in, as soon as we entered the doors of the hospital my contractions were so close together and painful. They wheeled me over to triage, and had me wait for the nurse. By this point, I had probably 3 contractions in the triage room waiting for a nurse to come and check on us. I had my mom go and tell them that I was having the urge to push, so they rushed over to me. I was dilated to 7.5 cm by this point. They then pushed me in the bed to delivery room, where I was having more urges to push. They checked me and was dilated to 9.5 cm. Next contraction I was completed dilated and ready to have a baby. However, I had NO DOCTOR, the doctor who was on call was on her way out and the other one hadn't gotten there yet. Well she came running back into the room, and three pushes later our little Aidan Paul was born at 7:16am.
This was a very fast delivery as well, only 2 1/2 hours of labor and three pushes and our little man was here. He truly was a surprise, but we are very happy and excited to have him here.
