When I went it to labor, my contractions started fast and furious, almost like someone flipped a switch at 6:30 p.m. They were consistently three minutes apart, from the very first one. 15 minutes into this, we knew it was no joke and we left for the hospital. When we arrived they tried terbutaline, mag. sulfate and a few others, but nothing stopped them. At 10:13 on Friday the 13th, Griffin made his grand entrance via c-section. Sean's ball number in HS was #13, so we are considering this a good thing. We had no camera, video camera, or really any idea what was happening, so we didn't get to take any good pics until the next day. Thank goodness for camera phones!
Grant finally meets Griffin!
While I was expecting, Grant would read "Goodnight Moon" to the baby.
He brought it to share during their first meeting.
Daddy admiring his boy.
Mommy taking it all in.
He looks sooo much like Sean, it melts my heart.
The first time we got to hold Griffin.
Our little bit.
He loves his pacifier. He didn't want the premie one,
so they had to give him the regular size and he can hold it in himself. Such a big boy!
Peeking at Daddy.
Best friends already.
I am so glad you decided to do a blog about this! It has been such a blessing for us to be able to keep up with G2's progress and seeing that sweet Grant welcome his new baby brother melted my heart.
