Brady is here....He arrived Sunday November 1, 2009 at 9:16 pm. Around 11:30-12:00 my back started hurting really bad Sunday morning. Mom came to get my to go to her house for lunch since Jake was running sound for the 10:55 service. When I got to moms house I was very uncomfortable and in a lot of pain. I went and laid on her bed and called Jake. Jake talked to Brett(my doctor) during church and Brett called me and said I think you are in labor and he told me he wanted me to go to the hospital whenever we got done with lunch and he would be up there shortly after. Jake ate lunch with my family. Then he ran home shaved and got my bag. Then we headed to the hospital around 1:40. Brett got to the hospital around 4:00 and he decided to break my water and get the process going. He said that I would probably be in labor for a while and that Brady might actually come on my moms birthday, which was the next day. Well after he broke my water I went from a 3 to a 7 almost 8 within 30 to 40 minutes. I had a very easy delivery and Brady arrived just after nine.
We are home now and are both doing very well. He had a hard time at first because he had a bowel movement before birth which caused him to get meconium in him. He had to be on an IV for 48 hours and we had to change his formula. Since then he has done very well.
Brady weighed 8 Ibs and 12 oz when he was born and he was 21 inches long. I am still wondering how he had any room in my belly before he arrived.
Here are a few pictures. I will post more as soon as I get a chance.
Since Brady had a bowel movement before they broke my water Brett had to give him to the respiratory team. They had to suction everything out of him to make sure that he did not ingest any of it. This was the longest 5 minutes of my life, even though we could see him moving.
