We are now done with our hospital stay and settled at home! It has been an amazing 48 hours but so exciting!
To continue where Jeff left off...our family arrived after dinner and we were able to visit with them for a few hours while we waited for the baby to arrive. I progressed nicely and wasn't feeling any of the pain...thank goodness! :) At about 9:30 p.m., the doctor came in and checked and I was at 10 cm. It took 2 1/2 hours of pushing, but Brayden arrived at 12:31 a.m. on 8/16/2009. It was actually kinda funny that we didn't know if he would be born on the 15th or 16th (I was hoping for as soon as possible, of course!). Brayden ended up with a bit of a cone head, but his head looks normal now :) He weighted in at 8 lbs, 7 ounces and was 22 inches long. Even the doctor was shocked when she heard his weight. None of us expected him to be that big!
Yesterday, the grandparents came back to visit and we got visits from our friends KC, Kyle, Kirby, Jen and Doug. Doug and Jen brought their 3 month old, so Brayden made a friend. Today, we mainly relaxed before getting discharged. Some girls that I work with came up to from the 8th floor to visit and a photographer came by to snap some shots of him. Brayden got checked out by the pediatrician and everything was great! Sleep has been very hard to come by, but I'm hoping that now that we are out of the hospital we can have some sort of a routine...key word HOPING :) He really has been a great baby so far and we feel very lucky that everything was gone so smoothly!!
Brayden and Corin Ryan becoming friends :)
