One year ago on August 28, 2008 you were born! For 9 months your daddy and I anxiously awaited your arrival. You were to be here on September 5, 2008 but during my last appointment with Dr. Godfrey (which was August 25, 2008) he told your daddy and I that he would schedule for us to meet at the hospital on August 28, 2008 at 5:30am to induce labor. He did this because after my last sonogram you appeared to be a large baby and with having 11 more days to go you would be even bigger! I’m still not quite sure if he did this to help me out or if it was because for the last 3 appointments your daddy had been asking him if he would induce. I was still working up to this point and decided that I would take Wednesday off to rest. I went to work on Tuesday and had to leave early because my back was hurting so bad! Little did I know I was having contractions! We called the hospital the morning of August 28, 2008 to make sure that they had a room available because with being induce you are at the back of the line. So once we got the
ok we called everyone at 4:45am to tell them we were headed to the hospital! We arrived and checked in at 5:30am and the nurse came in to start my IV and monitor to check your heart rate at 6:30am. Your daddy and I just waited and watched TV until around 7:45am. That’s when your family started to arrive! They were all so excited to meet you! At about 9:30am I could feel light contractions and by 11:00am I told your daddy to go get the nurse because I was in need of an epidural!!!!! After the epidural I was able to sleep a little bit off and on. At 1:00pm the fun began and at 3:45pm we were blessed with a perfect baby boy!
You weighed 8lbs 7 ozs and 22in long.
