Some Pics Finally...

I know... I know... I know... I'm not the greates at updating this blog am I? So tell me something that I didn't know! That my kid's beautiful? Well, duh! Knew that one! And here's some proof for ya... finally!

Aaaaaannnnnnddddd...

HE's hhheeeeeeeeerrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

And HE's a HE!! It's a BOY! A beautiful baby BOY!!

The lil' 7lb.12oz. Dude graced Zippy and I at 4:13am Thursday, Aug. 9th, after 16 hours of labor. After contracting for what seemed like forever, and not making any progress, Zippy finally succumbed to the call of the epidural (spelled right?). Then it was 5 more hours of peaceful contractions (she actually slept diring them!!) before 2 more hours of pushing were required to get our beautiful baby boy out! But he still didn't want to come out completely on his own, so foreceps and an episiotomy (darn medical words...) were needed to get him out.

Finally, he did come out and our nurse, Stephanie, was kind enough to let me announce, "BOY! It's a boy! He's a boy! [Zippy]... we have a SON!" To which Zippy replied, in a very weary voice, "A boy!" And I broke down and cried next to her head. But who could blame me?! After nine loooong months, we finally met Peanut!

While this blog certainly doesn't do the whole situation any justice what-so-ever, I'll post pics (I really will this time!) when I get home to let you see our amazing little son for yourself.

More later...

Into Next Week...

Aaaaaaannnnnddddd...





Nuthin'. Yet. A week and one day later... no change. Still.




But Zippy and I go in to the hospital tonight at 10p to start the induction process and get lil' Peanut out sometime tomorrow! Please pray hard that all goes well and Peanut comes out safe and healthy and that Zippy pulls through strong.




Stay tuned...
