Baby Andy is here! Hurray! Being pregnant has never been easy, and this time around proved to be no exception. Our baby boy #4 was due on December 19th, however, we had a c-section scheduled for December 12th. (12-12-12). However, by the time we got to Thanksgiving, I was... beyond uncomfortable. I saw the doctor a week later and he saw some red flags. It looked like pre-eclampsia was an issue here. I went right from my doctor's appointment to labor and delivery. We spent a few hours there when they determined it was safe for me to go home and we would do some more labs. After getting the results, a few long days later, the doctor said it was time to have a baby. I was sad not to have him on 12-12-12, but not really... did I mention I felt horrible!?! Could a women's feet be more swollen? When you can leave finger prints in your swollen calves IT'S TIME TO HAVE YOUR BABY!
And so, on December 4, 2012 we headed to the hospital to be delivered.
At the hospital about to go up to L&D.
The only shoes my feet would fit in were my snow boots and Ryan's slippers. *sniffle*
Yuck. But, it has now been documented.
My hero! Ryan, ready to head into the O.R.
Here he is! Andrew arrived at 10:53 am (or close to that!) weighing 7lbs 7oz.
Our tiniest baby yet!
Immediately after birth the doctors noticed a strange rash all over his upper body. He then had breathing problems. The plan was for him to spend several days in NICU, but as the nurse said, "he snapped out of it." So no NICU for him. Such good news!
First bath. Thanks Daddy!
First hair-do!
The big brothers were so EXCITED to meet him.
My boys. Precious.
Look at all that hair!?!
What a sweet Christmas gift. That's something to smile about!
We had a lot of "fun" at the hospital, but on December 8th, it was time to take this little bundle home.
