Introducing baby Declan James

Declan James is finally here!!!

On Tuesday, November 11th, J and I went to lunch at Chili's and went to few stores and were able to just hang out, as husband and wife and not parents, for the last time. 

After being a week past due I was finally admitted in to the hospital that evening so I could be induced. 

We arrived at the hospital at 5pm and got checked in. I had Chick-fil-a and a cookies and cream milkshake as my last meal! Of course nothing happen Tuesday night but 5:45am Wednesday morning the nurse came in and started getting me ready for my epidural. That was the most painful thing out of the entire day (luckily, it worked and I didn't feel anything the rest of the day)! After that I was in and out of sleep for most of the day. Around 2:30pm they came in and broke my water. About 3:30 or 4:00 they came in and started giving me oxygen and watching the monitor because Declan's heartrate kept dropping and I wasn't progressing any so they called for an emergency c-section. I have never been so scared for my son's life or my life. I also have never prayed so many times in those 30 mins before he was born to make sure he was okay and that I would be okay. God was on our side that day and took care of us and we both made it out healthy! 

{very happy and proud new dad}

I'll love you forever

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

My baby you'll be.
