On Monday (Oct 25th) morning, I woke up around 6:30 thinking that my water had broken. (being new to this I wasn't quite sure what exactly was going on) Jason and I decided that we would pack the car and head on to the doctor's office since we had an early morning appointment. The doctor checked and confirmed that indeed my water was "leaking" and that I was 3 cm dilated but not in active labor. Dr. Grilliot sent us on the hospital. Jason and already called the parents to put on stand-by now he made the call to let them know we would indeed have our son within 24 hours.
We got registered and settled-in by 9:15. Around 10:00 they began the IV and Pitocin to start the labor process. By 12:45ish the nurse confirmed I was 6 cm and it was time for the epidural. Things progressed quickly and after 20 minutes of pushing our little bundle of joy, Evan Banks, arrived at 2:07 pm. He weighed in at 9lbs 12 oz and is 21 inches long. He is a very happy and healthy baby. We were surrounded by our friends and family.
We came home Tuesday (Oct 26th) evening and are doing great and getting adjusted to our new addition to the family. He brings so much joy to our lives. It is so amazing to watch him grow and change everyday. We are two very proud parents!
We are so grateful for all the thoughts and prayers that you all have showered us with. We continue to ask for prayers as we continue through this new chapter in our lives!
