An Unforgettable Weekend

Well, this has been an unforgettable weekend to say the least. We have been blessed with such a sweet spirit in our home and are so happy he is here. It all started on Thursday the 20th....

I had one of my checkups that afternoon. I've been having to go twice a week for my blood pressure. When they checked it this time it had completely spiked. The doctor checked me. I was till only a 2 but 80% effaced. As he's helping pull me up from the table he goes "so you ready for a baby?" "umm... Today?" "yeah!" Holy Cow! I looked at Todd and could see the nervousness. I mean we've been preparing for 9 months, but when the time actually comes I'm not sure you're ever prepared. Since I was moving somewhat a long and the high blood pressure he didn't want to wait any longer. So we headed home, got some stuff packed at headed to the hospital.

I was induced around 9:00pm on Thursday and Everett came at 9:47am Friday morning. I'll admit that it was nothing that I expected. It all happened quick, which was good. Doctor Meredith kept telling us that we'd probably be pushing for about a hour or so. The nurse came in around 9:30 or so cause I was complaining of pressure. She checked me and sure enough he was on his way out. 10 minutes later the doctor came in and right after that came Everett. Later on I told Todd that I didn't cry and I was surprised. I think the whole thing shocked me that I didn't know what to do. All I remember was when he showed us the baby I kept thinking That's Mine! That just came out of me!

Being only 3 days old he is a pretty good baby I have to admit. He sleeps pretty well and has started eating really well. We took him to his first checkup today and they say he's a pretty good lookin baby. We're excited for the days ahead as we get to continue spending time with our new baby boy!
