The Beginning

Monday October 27th in the year 2014 A.D.  Since Brock was already 8 days overdue at this point we went into Valley Hospital room 136 to start the process of Induction. Jenna was started on cytotec to help soften the cervix.  She received 3 doses of cytotec, she was given one dose every 4 hours.This brought us into Tuesday October 28th in the year 2014 A.D.
 At 10 am Jenna was started on Pitocin to help induce Labor.  Dr. Sementi came in at 1:04 Pm to break Jenna's H20 at this point Jenna was 3cm Dilated.  After they broke Jenna's H20 she was having regular contractions thanks to the Pitocin and was now in more significant pain than before.  She was able to get a shot of Fentanyl, which Jenna wished they could mass produce and sell at walgreens.  Jenna's sister Katie arrived shortly after the Fentanyl shot to find Jenna feeling much better (a nice warm and fuzzy feeling she would say).
 Unfortunately the magic of Fentanyl only lasts about 45 minutes.  Now after feeling or rather not feeling the pain of contractions Jenna decided it was time to bring in the bug guns.  We had Heidi our anesthesiologist bring in the miracle drug and start Jenna's epidural at 2:20 PM.
 This is also something Jenna wouldn't mind being able to purchase at Walgreens.At this time Jenna's Mother Cheryl Wilson arrived at the hospital.
Brock had it in his mind that he was perfectly content in staying where he was,so Jenna's progression was very slow. (Like a turtle walking backwards through the mud slow).  The nurses continued to check progression every few hours but things seemed like they were not changing.  Around 4PM Jenna's Father James Wilson arrived at the hospital.
Things at this point are not very exciting, at 6PM Dr. Sementi came in to check on Jenna and informed us to get comfortable because it was going to be a long night. Derics mom Kerry Finn arrived for the birth around 7:30pm after working a long day at urgent care.


Lets fast forward a lot...to Wednesday morning at 3:35 AM the Nurse finally said the words we had been waiting all night for " I think it's time to start pushing."  At 5:30 Dr. Sementek came in to take over the birthing/pushing process.  At 5:54 AM Dr. Sementek told Jenna to stop pushing so they could finish setting everything up for Brock, Jenna very strongly disagreed with the doctor and told him that she could not stop pushing and that he was coming out now.  Dr. Sementek whether wanting to or not quickly got into position to catch Brock.  FINALLY! 5:57 AM Brock Leonard Molner made his grand entrance into the world at 6 lbs 14oz and 19 1/2 in long. Due to all the chaos just before Brock came after he got here it took 5 min before anyone actually checked to confirm he was indeed a him.
