OUR LITTLE YANKEE DOODLE DANDY!!!! Our independence day baby.
About 1:15 a.m. I felt my 1st contraction. They just increased in strength and began to get closer together. Drew and I made it to the hospital around 5:50 a.m. and got all checked in. It was a way different experience than arriving at the hospital in Kenya pregnant with Noah. Way more organized, but I quickly learned that I should have called ahead and told them I was coming. After checking me in, and checking my progress, I was at 5 cm, water not broken yet, and epidural on the way. AND my friend Dr. McMinn on call, and who was so gracious to stay and deliver me when she didn't have too. After breaking my water, I quickly made my way to 9 cm and began to prepare to deliver. At 8:54 a.m. after about 15 minutes of pushing Luke quietly made his debut. He is so different in temperment, and much quieter that Noah ever was. At 7 lbs. 9 oz. and 21 inches long he is just perfect. His apgar was 9 and 10 and we are working on breastfeeding.
