Our New Arrival.......

On Saturday November 21st 2009 our little man Braden Parker made his arrival @ 10:29pm, he was 8lbs 2oz and 19 inches long.

That morning I had a feeling that my water had broken but I wasn't having contractions at the time so I called my Dr. to see if they wanted me to go into the hospital. When I got there they did tests and did confirm that my water had indeed broken so I was admitted at this time, luckily I had my bag and mostly everything already packed in my trunk lol.

My labor was pretty uneventful (other than my 1st epidural not working so I have to have a 2nd one done) it was just long and tiring. I ended having to push for 2 hours and wanted to give up and be done halfway through the pushing but the nurse and doctor wouldn't let me lol.

After Braden was delivered Chris did really well. He cut the umbilical cord (never really thought he would do that lol ), followed the baby and took pics, held the babies hand (before he was cleaned of lol ), and actually held the baby after he was all cleaned up. It was really cute watching him with Braden at first.
