Well, our little man has arrived and we couldn't feel more blessed than we do right now!!! He was born on July 31st at 11:46 am. I hate to brag but I had a incredibly easy delivery. Here's a little time line just for entertainment purposes:
7pm-Arrived at Centennial for Inducement
7:30pm-Started low dose of Pitocin
11pm-Sound Asleep
3am-Wide Awake (no pain yet, just anxious), they also cranked the Pitocin up to 30 at this time...
6:15am-Started to feel slight contractions
6:45am-Contractions got a little stronger
7am-Epidural time-Amen!!!
7:15am-Dr. Thornburg broke my water, dilated to 3
7:30-11am-I basically slept the entire time, i loved that epidural!!!
11:15am-Dilated to 10 and ready to push
11:25am-Dr. Thornburg showed up and we started pushing
11:46am-Winston Brandt Barbee was born weighing 6lbs 11oz and is 19 1/2 inches long
So, thats our story and from that point on we have been on GO!!! We have had so many visitors and are just so lucky to have such amazing family and friends in our lives. Brandt is doing great, he went to the doctor on Tues and she said everything looked perfect. He lost 9 ounces in the hospital and had gained 3 back by Tues. I am doing great, healing quickly, and adjusting to the frequent feedings, diaper changes, and sleep schedule. Daddy is in LOVE, he is great with Brandt and when he is home, he is quite the baby hog!!! We honestly couldn't be more blessed and every time we look at him, we truly can't believe that he is ours!!! God is GOOD!!
