june 28th, 2011

liam david patterson
7lbs 14oz
20 1/2 inches

..and perfect in every way. we couldn't be more in love!


d-day highlights:
- mommy drove herself to doctor's appointment, not really sure she was even in labor.  turns out my water had broken! luckily i brought the packed hospital bag with me 'just in case'!
- daddy made it on the ONLY direct flight from tulsa to slc. miracle.
- mommy's best friend in Cali is in labor the same time!  so crazy!  baby Nora made her debut much sooner than our little guy, though.
- baby didn't like pitocin, so labor was s.l.o.w.
- after 24 hrs+ of labor, mommy got stuck at 9cm and wouldn't budge.  
- doc decided that pelvis most likely was not going to let this baby through
- came via c-section. poor head was cone shaped from being stuck in there for so long! (it rounded out by the end of the night, luckily!)
- everyone was exhausted, but healthy and happy!

I'm so happy for you. He is a little stud cutie! Oh and the birth story sounds super familiar, well the c section and pushing part and conehead part anyway. Not the husband flying in. Anyway. Glad he's here safe! Congrats! And you will be great parents!

Wow! What an experience! I love hearing everyone's labor & delivery stories, so unique and special. I didn't know you had a C-section! Take GOOD care of yourself. I have had 2 and believe me the way you treat yourself the first few weeks will make a tremendous difference in your overall recovery. So glad a cute nurse tipped me off on my 1st c-section. Anyway, he is so cute! I know you are all enjoying him so much! Hugs to all!

Hey, Jaci, I just noticed at the top of the screen that the owner needs to review the post! Sorry, I probably sent you it twice because I wasn't sure what happened. Still getting use to all this blogging stuff! Have fun with your little guy! ;o)
