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.
What a great video! I cry everytime I watch it! Those littel cries are too precious for words. Keep the updates coming. I love the pics of AJ's first visitors. Everyone looks great.
