He is finally here! Rachel went into the hospital yesterday with contractions about 10 minutes apart. Contractions were good and strong, but baby's heart rate would not go back up after each contraction. Baby was over due and they were worried about the complications it could bring. She labored for about 3 hours and was only at 3 centimeters. The hospital O.R. was short staffed so they decided to hold off and wait until this morning when the doctors, surgeons, and other staff came back on duty, just in case they needed to do an emergency cesarean. This morning around 3:00, her water broke and she began to dilate on her own.Brendan came at 8:26 a.m., July 14, 2007. He was 7 pounds, 11 ounces, 19.5 inches long. Baby is great, and Mama is tired (mostly due to a drug she didn't know they gave her). Poor thing couldn't hardly keep her eyes open. Here are a few of his first pictures.
