HE'S HERE!
Kaden Alexander arrived at 1:07 a.m. on Tuesday, May 16.
Mother, father and grandmother are all exhausted, but doing well.
Michelle's water broke at 10:30 a.m. and we were at the hospital by 11:30. When we got there they put her in a triage room where they went through the usual tests. They gave the litmus paper test and it didn't turn color! We thought they would send us home, but then they ran it through the microscope and it passed that test - she had to stay in the hospital!
So they had us walk. Up and down every corridor in the birthing unit. For hours. And hours. Still the contractions were weak and infrequent. They started the pitocin at 7:30 p.m. and from then on it went quickly. She only pushed for 1/2 hour - I was just amazed when I got a glimpse of black hair - my first Kaden sighting!
I've assured Michelle that really, she won't remember any of this. Not in detail anyway. She was a real trouper and I'm very proud of her. It was hard work, but so worth it at the end. We were all crying. He's just adorable!
We had quite a crowd in the room.
I'm off to bed now. Be prepared for lots more pictures to come!
