4 1/2 days oldProud Daddy!Tired Mommy after surgery loving Baby ChadWe are so excited to announce the birth of our healthy baby boy! We couldn't be more blessed to have this little one finally here!

The Story: Went in to the Doc Office last Friday and was starting to efface and dilate, so the Doc and I started talking about my "options" being she was leaving for a week and Chad was already huge in all the ultrasounds. She comes back into the office and says "We can get you in the hospital today at 3pm since the 8 and 9 pm are already booked." After hyperventilating a little bit we decided to go with that plan.

We got to the hospital around 5pm Friday night, and after cervidil and pitocin all night and all day Saturday, the Doc broke my water around 1:00pm in hopes I would dilate more. Around 9:30pm the Doc came back and said I was still a 2. She was concerned about him being so big that his head wasn't going to fit in my pelvis (Called Cephalopelvic Disproportion) and a C-Section was most likely the best way to go.

At 11:01pm Chad was here! (My Doc doesn't mess around) :) When she was bringing him out she said "Oh Momma, this head was definitely not going to fit!" :)

There is nothing better in the world than watching your son be born and experiencing your child's birth! He is such a healthy, sweet, beautiful boy and we are overjoyed to be spending eternity with him!
