Our sweet little boy entered the world on Friday March 7, 2014 at 4:52 am weighing 7 lbs 2 oz and we are overjoyed to finally meet him.
It’s been an anxious journey, an excited journey…a prayerful journey and to actually see him and meet him has been the most precious experience. Every wisp of hair, every eyelash, every feature I love, even those affectionately named “Pretzel legs”…I feel like I have known him already for a hundred years…Welcome little boy.
Our little guy came quickly and a couple days before his due date (March 11th) abiding by that eviction notice I gave him weeks ago. The day before his arrival and at the last OB appointment I had been 5 cm dilated and 100% effaced…concerning my OB enough that she wanted to induce me. Thankfully my momma hopped right on the plane!
By that evening the contractions started and from the start to the final push, just over 12 hours of labor. Five quick pushes and he made his arrival. Our dear friend picked my mom up at the airport after taking a red eye across the country and she arrived just two hours after he was born. I hadn’t shed a tear until my mom walked in the hospital room. What a marvelous blessing getting to see my mom hold our little boy.
