Our newest addition :)

Our little Beau Mccoy is finally here! So here's the story:

On May 13th we went into the hospital at 9:15am to get induced. They started the medicine and broke my water around 11:00am. The baby's heart beat would drop dramatically every time I had a contraction so he wasn't handling the labor very well at all. A few times the doctor would run in with a few nurses when the heart beat stayed down. We were almost rushed to an operating table to have an emergency c-section, but Todd felt impressed to give me a blessing. After that the heart beat went up immediately, and it stayed strong from then on.

Beau came into this world at 1:09pm and the doctor noticed the cord was wrapped around the baby's neck twice. He expertly removed the cord and everything was great!!! Beau was 6 lbs. 5 oz. and 19 1/2 in. long. I am so grateful for Todd, that he listened to the spirit. I am also grateful for doctors! What a blessing.

So that's pretty much the story. There are a few pictures above, of our precious Beau Mccoy. Enjoy :)

Tomorrow's the BIG One!!!

So I just thought I should let everyone know that I am going to the hospital tomorrow to be induced. I am sooo nervous I can barely breath. This is a conversation I had with my darling little sis Haley today:

Me: "I think Braxton is picking up on my nerves because he has been absolutely ridiculous today. He must know something is about to change."

Haley: "You're probably right. But you don't need to be nervous, you know what to expect."

Me: "That's what makes me nervous!!!"

I really do feel like it would be easier if I didn't know what was coming and when! This whole day I have been shaking, knowing that I will be having this baby tomorrow. I know it will all be okay, but I still can't shake this feeling. And to make matters worse, Todd is at work tonight. He won't get home until 6am so I have to go this night alone. The hospital called and said they would call me tomorrow morning and give me the exact time to come in, which could be anywhere from 6am-9am, depending on how busy their night was. So wish me luck, and I will let you know how it goes.
