Finally Home

So after almost a week in the luxurious confines of SkyRidge Medical Center, Becky, Andrew and i made it home. It feels so great to be home. Now the fun begins since there isn't an official nursery where the baby can be for a little mommy and daddy nap. So far everything is going well. We will keep you posted. Here are a few pictures before leaving, and a couple with some new visitors and friends. Brian, Jamie and Hudson Harris stopped by, and then Doc, Jess, Sofia and Kate Weidknecht did as well.

Andrew's first visitors

Becky and I want to thank everyone for your support and wonderful thoughts...and of course the food and clothes for Andrew. All is going well so far. We are supposed to be heading home tomorrow, just in time to watch the Jayhawks play. Just wanted to share some of the pictures from our visitors.

Andrew James is here :)

On March 23rd, 2009 at 11:53 Andrew James arrived. After an exhausting day, Becky and I are parents.
We checked into the hospital the night before after going to 730 South for dinner. Once we got here, Becky was given something to open her cervix and then we went to bed. At 6 am she was put on Pitocin (sp) and then the waiting game began. It was a long day with Becky having some contractions here and there. As the time got closer, the contractions started to become more painful. Becky started pushing as hard as she could, Dr. Lamb resorted to using a suction cup to help assist getting the little guy out. When all other options had failed, we had to go in and get a C-section. Becky was completely spent and Andrew was kind of wide awake. Here is a video of Andrew being welcomed into the world.

Now we Know

Looks like we will be going to the hospital to be induced this coming Sunday!!!!! Yikes...reality has totally set in and now I have to become a grown up :) Looking forward to meeting the little one. From the looks of Becky's belly it is going to be quite the active little baby.

Here it comes

This is a first for Becky and I...that is our first child and our first blog. We have never been so excited to meet our little one. About 19 days to go. Not bad. Here is a picture from January, during her pregnancy. The other is a picture from our friends' wedding over New Years.
