The Big Day.....

.....And a half
.......... And then some


Andrew here, subbing for Michele. Please bear with me.

The day started with some routine testing but ended up with a scheduled induction,
so after supper we reported to the Hospital




After the Induction, the labor began and the contractions came and grew.
But we quickly hit the roadblock with serious, horrible back labor. An Epidural was the only option.
So after that, we had more successful laboring and progressed to 9cm.

Michele had contractions like a champ. Really, is was text book on how to have contractions.



But that was the end of the progress, we stall for 6 hours.
Now at 2pm the Doc called for a C-section


Cut, zip, bang! ( it really didn't feel like that at the time ) and TA-DA!

Mr. Pfannenstiel!

And even after surgery, Michele is as beautiful and photogenic as ever.
And that is as photogenic as I get.



And the result is this beautiful baby boy


..... now if we can only decide on a name!



Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support!
