Thursday was a busy day, I made the most of my waiting by cleaning, watching some movies, going shopping, eating otterpops, and drawing a picture of a monkey. at 10:00pm Nathaniel and I were both ready for bed. It had been a long day and I couldn't wait to sleep. The lights were out and I was thinking about how the baby kept wiggling down their and how it would be ironic if he broke his own water (as I did mine as a baby) sorry if this is all too much information, but in all seriousness, I'm talking about a baby being born here. :) As I was thinking this I heard a little popping sound. Hmm that is interesting, I didn't think it was my water, there was no gush or feeling like a water balloon bursting like I've heard it described before, it was more like one of those plastic packaging bubbles popping, still, might as well check. yeah, it was totally my water. That was at 10:15
we got to the hospital and I wasn't very far dialated but my hard labor contractions started around 11:30 the whole night was difficult and neither of us slept, I got an epidural around 5:00 AM and at 1:23 PM little Adam Nathaniel came out with little more than a shout on his part. His color was great and from the beginning all three of us have been doing well. I was very tired and a bit loopy by the time the doctor came in, and aside from the epidural wearing off a bit, Adam being sideways and needing to be turned, needing the forceps, and mom getting a few stitches, everything went just great. We are so happy with how it all turned out. We were able to come home Saturday night and everything is still going great. I am so happy to have my little family here around me. The waiting has been worth it!
Picture Time!
He was wide eyed and alert and very content to be alive. I may be just a bit biased but he is seriously one of the cutest little things I have ever seen. He totally has me wrapped around his tiny fingers.
We are a happy family! Dad (Nathaniel) Mom (Amber) and baby Adam shortly after birth.
Tired but oh so Happy. As soon as he came I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
Adam Nathaniel Cook Born the 16th of July 2010 1:23 PM Six pounds thirteen ounces, 19 inches long. Four days early but none too soon!
Okay so do you want me to come do the photo shoot this week before thursday or next week after tuesday? We're more likely to get open eyes if we wait, but they change a lot the first couple weeks, so you just let me know. Also, I'll try to bring the swing by tonight, so I could do it tonight if you want. Is mom staying with you? And I'm so excited, you will become a much more regular blogger now!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you!! Congratulations! Adam is seriously cute, I can't wait to see him grow. I hope you and your little family are happy and healthy.
