It's a Boy!!!




Well we arrived pretty late last night and they started some drugs around 1am. Sarah went into labor almost immediately. She proceeded nicely, but around 6am there started to be issues with baby's heartbeat dropping during contractions. Since we were expecting a 9lb 6oz baby (from the ultrasound Friday), the doctor thought it would be best to do a c-section. It took a little while for them to prep the operating room, but at about 7:20am Sarah was wheeled back.

During the operation I was in awe. I got some good peeks over the curtain to check out the progress, but Sarah wouldn't let me take any pictures, sorry everyone. Watching the doctor pull our little boy out was unbelievable. He arrived a deep purple color, but within minutes he was very pink and normal looking.


We have named him Max William and he tipped the scales at 7lbs 9 oz 20.5 inches in length.
