Here's our little Teddy. Born May 15, 2011 at 10:05 am, weighing 9lbs 15 oz and measuring 22 inches long!
It was a bit of an adventure. I started having contractions around dinnertime on Saturday night and by 11pm we decided to head to the hospital. The only wrinkle: it was the last night at the old hospital before the newly constructed one went active at 7am on Sunday. We were admitted to the old hospital at midnight. I held out for a couple hours before agreeing to the epidural and Brian and I were able to catch a few winks, thankfully. They woke us up at 6am, unplugged all the monitors and wheeled me down the hall to the elevator, out the side door, across the red carpet (literally!) and into the brand new hospital. Soon, it was time to push and at the last second our OB handed Brian a smock and a pair of gloves and had him bring our baby into the world! No mystery anymore - he's a boy!
They put Teddy on my chest and the first thing I noticed was how big he was, then how strong - he was lifting his head off my chest to take a look around within seconds. Big hands, big feet and a full head of hair. Love at first sight.
