Braedan (spelling still unknown) John came into this world at 12:18 pm weighing 9 lbs 4 oz via c-section (10 days early...big baby). He looks so much like TJ did as a newborn but also alot more like Brad...he is mini Brad I think. Labor went really really well but he was stuck and I was exhausted! My epidural worked for most of the labor (yay) and I pushed for 3 hrs but he was stuck! We came in after 3 hrs of contractions at 5 minutes apart with a really low pain level until I was closer to 10 cm. The c-section went well but just took a little longer. He came out really well and so I was able to hold him right away after he was wrapped up. We have had GREAT nurses!
Terrace was soooo cute coming to see Braeden! She was only here a short period bc I had still not slept for the last 36 hrs. At this point I have only slept 2 hrs and will be catching up on sleep over the next couple days and weeks (hopefully). I am in a decent amount of pain even with pain medication but have been out of the bed once already. Thank you to Maria who was able to come up and stay at the house while we came into the hospital and my parents who are at home now with Terrace....we really appreciate it and everything has been so smooth. I am sure I am missing some good info but time for bed!
