Well were do I start? I guess at the beginning.

Sunday Febuary 26th, late pm
Michelle was feeling "wierd". The baby was moving around a whole lot and we were not sleeping.

Monday Febuary 27th
Around 2:30am Michelle's water broke and we knew it was time. We drove to the hospital and were checked in immediatly. Around 3:30am she was all hooked up to all the machines and we could hear his heart going like crazy. 152 bpm to be exact. At this point I thought he would be here in 8 hours or so. Man was I wrong! 8 hours came and went as well as 9, 10 , 11 12 , 13, 14 and the 15th hour. Finally on the 16th hour the nurse comes in and tells us we will have to have a C-section. Not the news we were hoping for but by this time Michelle was getting pretty tired and we were running out of time. I guess after the water breaks you have 24 hours to give birth b-4 infections can start. We had about an hour to get mentaly prepared for all this and I also had to change into scrubs that were made for a 5' 8" person (yea kinda tight). We went into the O.R. and did the deed.

After Aiden wad delivered I was the first to hold him. I looked into his eyes and knew right away he was mine. I was kinda scared and nervous at the same time but more happy than any thing. He has all his fingers and toes and is 100% healthy. We had to stay in the hospital for 4 days and that was no fun at all and I will spare you all the details of that. We were released Friday late afternoon and man were we happy.

We are happy to be home and all is well. Aiden is doing what all Babys do, ya know poop, pee and eat. and after the first night home we slept a total of 4 hours on and off. This is supposed to last a few weeks and then he will sleep more and more in the night. Thats all for now as I am going to take a nap b-4 the tonights debacle.
