Ben’s story–

Ben decided on Sunday, March 29, to get things rolling a little earlier than expected.  Remember, I was supposed to have a scheduled C-Section the next day at 8 a.m. I started to experience the signs of labor late Sunday evening and by early Monday morning my contractions were getting to be very close together.  Hubby & I decided it was time to grab our bags and head to the hospital.

I kept thinking, I can’t believe I’m experiencing contractions!  Is this for real?!  We have a scheduled C-Section at 8 and I just thought we would drive to the hospital, check in, change into my gown, head to the OR, and have our baby.  Well, Ben had other plans.

Things progressed so rapidly that we knew by 5 a.m. that it was baby time. Contractions were now coming fast and ferocious.  And since we were ahead of schedule, we didn’t even have our regular doc, we had the OB from our practice that was on call.  Funny thing is she also happened to be the one two weeks ago to discover he was breech.  So we went WAY back with her, like old friends we were. She came in, made sure he was still breech and agreed it was time to have the baby.

The next thing that happened was me being prepped for the C-Section and then being wheeled into a very, very, very, cold operating room.  Let me emphasize the cold!  Then, the next bit happened super fast!  In a matter of a few minutes Ben made his grand entrance into the world!  It was so amazing!!!  Lots & lots of happy tears and once he was all cleaned up, hubby, Ben, & I posed for our first family photo.

Ben is a beautiful, happy & healthy little boy and hubby and I are very proud parents!  Here are some photos from the first 2 weeks of this new, amazing chapter in our lives.  Enjoy!
