At 4:29 pm on Saturday, March 14th, our boy EJ was born... At birth he weighed 6 pounds, 7 ounces and measured 19 1/2 inches. His due date was this Friday (March 2oth), but he just couldn't wait to get here... Here's how it happened...
Joey started feeling labor pains at 11:30 pm on Friday night and by 2:00 am they were 4-5 minutes apart. Joey knew this was the real deal so we got our things together arrived at the hospital about 4 am. The labor seemed to be progressing normally at first. However, by around 12 noon the medical staff had become concerned that EJ's heartrate was dipping very low at times or that it stayed low for too long. Around 4 in the afternoon they decided to perform a Ceaserean section and shortly after he was born. Joey was amazingly strong through the whole process. We are very grateful for excellent medical staff who made sure Joey and EJ came through safely.
We all came home from the hospital yesterday night. Joey is recuperating and is feeling better each day. EJ is eating and sleeping pretty well and he seems to be settling in well to his new surroundings. We are ecstatic that our little cowboy finally rode into town and are looking forward to the days and years ahead with our little buckaroo.
