After an exhausting 3 solid hours of pushing Marilyn had to have a C-Section. Elliott was born at 3:41 AM on 3/4/08 weighing in at a whopping 8 lbs 10 oz and 21.5 inches long. His feet are exactly three inches long. Marilyn and Elliott are doing wonderful just very very tired.
We had a doctors appointment today at 2:00 pm. The doctor said that there wasn't enough amniotic fluid and felt we needed to induce. So at about 3 pm we checked in and started pitocin around 4:30 pm. Then at 6:45 pm Marilyn's water broke so now it's on! I'll continue to update when ever I can.
So where's the baby?! He seems entirely too happy in his present accommodations to check out his room anytime soon. (This whole post is really a ploy to attempt our first video! Enjoy.)
Our first baby shower was a lot of fun. Despite "The Blizzard of 2008", much of our family and friends braved the cold and joined us to celebrate Elliott's upcoming arrival. Here are a few pictures from the shower.
Here are a few pictures from our 4D ultrasound. He's come a long way since our first ultrasound. Check out his little foot in the first picture. Looks like we may have a little kicker!
We live in Birmingham, Alabama. We have been married since July 22, 2000. Elliott was born March 4, 2008, at 3:41 a.m. He weighed 8 lbs., 10 oz. and was 21.5 inches long. This blog is for all of our family and friends to watch him grow up.
