Here is the breakdown of events...
Mom went into labor around 1pm on Sunday, March 29th. Mom and Dad went to the hospital to see what they thought...They sent mom and dad home as mom was only 1 cm dilated and her contractions were not strong enough, but pretty consistent 5-7 min apart.
Mom continued having contractions every 5-7 minutes and went back to the Hospital on Monday morning at 6:30AM when her contractions seemed to be a lot stronger only to learn she was just 1 cm further dilated!!
By 7:30 AM Mom was 3cm dilated and in active labor. Dr. McNeil said to get ready to have a baby today (ME)!!
I came into the world just about 12 hours later at 7:59 pm on Monday, March 30th! Mom pushed for about 3 hours! My God Mother, Aunt Colleen helped Dr. Reyes to deliver me, which was pretty cool! Thanks Aunt Colleen for helping mommy push and deliver me! It made coming into this world all the more special!
Dr. Reyes put me right on Mommy's stomach and announced to everyone that i was a little boy, and well worth the wait and surprise! They dried me off and then i hung out with mom on her chest and attempted to nurse for the first time! They call this "Kangaroo Care!" Mom and dad were so happy that i had arrived and i was healthy!
Aunt Kathy was by Mommy and Daddy's side in the hospital and was there for my birth too!! Thanks Aunt Kathy for being there on my special day and supporting mommy and daddy!
Here i am all 7 pounds 3 ounces!! Boy is it a scary place outside of the womb! I had light brown hair, dark blue eyes, and was 21 inches long!
Getting my foot prints! This was not fun either (as you can tell)!
Here is a picture of Daddy, Janene Smith (Mommy and Daddy's friend and Nurse who helped delivered me), and Mommy after i was born! Thanks Janene for all your help! It was great that you were there!
My proud parents and Me....
Me....hmmm.....but what is my real name? Addy was my nickname while i was in Mommy's belly! Now i need a real name!! (To be continued....)
