Cole is HERE!

Our family of 3! :)

and he is absolutely perfect! He was born Wednesday morning at 7:19am. He was 8lbs 7oz and 19 1/2 inches long. It was the most amazing experience. We are in bliss with this amazing little guy. He did not want to come so we did have to do a c-section. That was really crazy. We go in on Wednesday morning at 5:00am, do some paperwork and then go back to a room. That is where I met nurse Bonnie, who was so great. They prepped me and got me ready for surgery. Casey was with me and before they wheeled me off I was able to see my mom, dad and brothers. I got to the OR at 6:45 am and there were about 10 people in there. Everything was happening so quick. They gave me my spinal tap to numb me and we were off. They brought Casey in all suited up and it was game time. If you have not had a c-section it is very weird. You cannot see anything they are doing, but you feel all the pressure and right before he came I had two nurses basically jumping on my chest. Then Dr. Macey lifted him over the curtain and said "hi mom and dad" as he was holding Cole up to us. I just started crying. It was so overwhelming! and truly an amazing experience. I could not believe that was him, my little man. The one who had given me so much heartburn and made me so big. He was here and perfect and everything was wonderful.
I had to go to recovery for a few hours after I was put back together. I got sick a few times from the anesthesia, but I also think from them pushing on my belly/uterus. I know that did not help. They would check me about every 10-15 mins and push on my uterus. I cannot remember why now, but it was sensitive and uncomfortable. After I left recovery I went to my room, very drowsy. They had given me finagrin for the nausea, which makes you very tired. I could barely hold my eyes open. My whole family was there and Casey's brother Lincoln and wife Pam. They all came in to tell me how beautiful he was and congratulate us. We were at the hospital til Saturday and now we are home. We are adjusting to our life of three and just enjoying this blessing that God has blessed us with.

Justin and Lisa came to see you!

Thank you to all of you who have been on this journey with us. I know that we have this little guy because of all your prayers, love and support for us. Thank you just doesn't seem like enough. I cannot wait for you to all meet him. He is just the best thing ever! :)
