Saturday was my orignial due date and I went to bed very disappointed. I was convinced that my baby boy was not coming until induction on Wednesday. I even told Morgan before falling asleep that night how far away the entire experience felt. Well, was I WRONG! Sunday morning I woke up around 4:45 am to some pretty serious contractions. I started timing them around 5:30 to discover that they were only about 7 min. apart. My thought process from there kept jumping from..."WOO HOO THIS IS IT!!" to "Don't get too excited, stay calm!" Needless to say we were allowed to get excited! We went to the hospital around 10:30 am and after 2 epidurals, lots of wonderful support from our family, and about an hour of pushing we met our sweet James David! He is the most amazing blessing we have ever received! So far he is very calm and LOVES to eat! He started latching on about 2 hours after birth and is really making it easy on his mommy. We are home now enjoying each other and our new family. So far we have discovered that the glider in the nursery was a Fantastic purchase, going through multiple outfits in one afternoon is probably going to be a common occurance, and that the swing is already a hit!! Thanks Protiviti! And thank you to everyone for all their sweet calls, comments, and support! J. David can't wait to meet you all!! Here are some pics from the hospital, and in the next few days I will have more from around the house and a website for photos taken by the hospital. Enjoy and check back soon!!
