Here are some pictures of our first moments with Andrew! 6 pounds, 6 ounces, 19 inches, born at 4:32 a.m. Tuesday, January 5, 2010
Proud mama and papa!
Gracie meets Andrew
On our way home!Our sweet family
Hey! Put some clothes on me! It's cold!
Pretty boy!
The short story for those of you who haven't heard--My c-section was schedule for Wednesday morning. But Tuesday at 1:00 in the morning, I started having contractions. They went immediately from 15 to 10 to 7 minutes apart. By the time we gathered everything together and my mom came over to care for Gracie, they were 5 minutes apart. We got a hospital room at 3 a.m. and the contractions were more like 4 minutes apart and I was dilated between 4 and 5 centimeters. The nurses put a rush on things and by 4:00 (and at that time contractions were 2 minutes apart) I was taken to the operating room and given my epidural/spinal. Andrew Thomas was born at 4:32! The whole thing was super fast! Although it wasn't our "plan," everything went wonderfully and we are so grateful! Today is Saturday evening, and my recovery is going well. Each day gets better and better. Gracie is adjusting well and asked to hold Andrew today. More pics to come soon!
