Mom = Strength
Thanks to all of you mom's who not only give birth but do so many other things. You all deserve to be loved and appreciated as the Miracle Makers you are!
This morning I saw a true Miracle. I saw my beautiful wife Amber exhibit amazing strength and give birth to our son Boston (born 06/19/09 at 4:57 am. 8 lbs and 21 inches). We are all so excited to have him finally here. Happy Birthday Boston!
Amber is doing really well. After having ZERO pain medication with Brooklyn- she opted to try a full epidural for Boston. It was AWESOME!
The Labor progressed great, and before long it was time to push him out. She only pushed for about 15 minutes. Once his head came out he started to turn blue. I was getting scared as it was obvious that he was kind of stuck.
We were all telling Amber to really push hard. The dr. was pulling on him trying to free his shoulder, as it was caught and preventing him from coming out. It seemed like forever but finally he came out and was fine. It really was scary for me, as I had a thought that if he didn't get out ASAP- he wasn't going to make it.
My heart goes out to parents of stillbirths. I couldn't imagine going through that.
Sorry to depress you- this really is supposed to be a happy post.. :)
Amber and Boston are doing great- his blood sugar was fluctuating a little but I think is getting more regulated the more he nurses.
Thanks for the prayers on our behalf. Carter and Brooklyn are super excited to have him here. They are great kids.
A special Thank You to our good friend Barb who came over at 1 am to care for Carter and Brooklyn. She has 2 of her own little girls and was great with our kids.
Thanks to Ami who took Carter and Brooklyn for a few hours today so that I could spend time with her and Boston.
We'll post more soon.
