It was a long day and a hard journey. Having been told that Molly was going to be a big baby, a planned induction was put into the books for Monday, May 13. Obviously, we hoped that Molly would arrive on her own before that date but we all know hopes don't always turn into reality. So bright and early on Monday, May 13 we were on our way to Holy Cross hospital. Labor started around 9:30 am and Jeanette was told to start pushing around 5:30 pm. And push she did, she pushed for not one, not two but three hours. Pushed with all her might but Molly was content to stay right where she was, warm and safe inside. At the same time, Molly started showing signs of slight distress which prompted us, our doctor and nurse to make the hard decision for major surgery, otherwise known as a c-section. So off to the OR we went. Within 20 minutes of starting the procedure we heard the mighty lungs of our stubborn, vocal and quite fetching baby girl. I got to hang out with her as she was weighed, measured and wiped clean. I was able to carry her over to Jeanette as she got stitched up. Jeanette was super exhausted but was happy to hear Molly's strong cry as she entered our bright and cold world.
So that's sums up our story. We have since been getting to know each other and enjoying the first day of parenthood.
Oh in case you missed it, below is a Molly's e-announcement. See I told you she was cute!
From a tired new dad,
Wyatt
