After several bouts of false labor over the last month, and 3 trips already for Grammy and Grampy to come watch the kids, Shawna finally went into true labor around 2am this morning. We checked into the hospital around 6:30am and by 7:53 Garrett was born. He is a healthy boy and came out crying.
Shawna toughed it out like a
champ and delivered him with just a couple pushes, while I tried to
follow Mama's orders and not get in the way. Even though he was cooking
for 40.5 weeks, a week and a half
longer than his siblings, he is a lightweight by comparison, clocking in
at only 6
lbs, 15 ounces. He is 19 inches long.
Mother and son are doing well. Wyatt and Haylee enjoyed meeting their sibling and don't seem to be too distraught when I tell them they have to start pulling their own weight now. Garrett's middle name is taken from Shawna's dad, Vince (aka Papa). Garrett has nursed and taken his first bath, and is now getting some rest after his big day.
