Despite Daddy Dunphy's NEED to be on-time obsession,
our little bean was in no rush to come out of his bubble.
Like with E, I prepared for my due date,
it neared, it came & it went.
So, I was given a date to be induced... talk about anxiety.
I thought waiting for baby to come was bad -
no, being given a time to waddle into the hospital makes life get chaotic.
All of a sudden I had TONS to do and not enough time to do it..
W's Birth Story:
I will be as brief as possible, as it was painful enough to endure the first time. ;)
I went into the Labor & Delivery Department on Fort Sill at 7 am on January 2.
After checking in, changing, seeing nurses & doctors and getting settled into a room,
I was finally hooked up to labor inducing drugs by 10:30.
Hours upon hours passed with zilch in the progression area
(although I wasn't starting from the bottom.. I had progressed since the beginning of my final month).
(I didn't take any pain relief drugs for the LONGEST time.. and josh enjoyed watching my pain on the contraction-o-meter)
Around 4:30, once my OB got finished with his normal day shift, he came in & broke my water.
Prior to that my epidural failed & then only worked on half my body,
even with someadjustments, I still ended up with a Hot Spot.. worst. thing. ever.
From 5:30-7:06 pm I was in the most ridiculous pain I'd ever experienced - no joke.
And then as quick as it came I was handed an adorable LARGE baby boy!
{W will always be a miracle baby.. I unknowingly had more than average fluid for him to float in, causing him at some point to do a loop and have a true umbilical knot..
that thankfully wasn't ever pulled tightly}
(regardless of blur, this is the very first photo I ever took of baby W - so sweet)
Such a happy daddy!
We introduced our sweet boy (via social media) the next day..
and took the first night to just enjoy and share our newest little love
with close family & friends.
E, who'd been staying with friends got to meet her new baby brother the following afternoon as well!
Note their matching bows (that was transformed into a bow-tie for W)
love these two!
I didn't take TONS of photos of W at the Hospital as it was a very
"living in the moment" experience as well..
but these are a few I did manage to snap before we headed home.
Mr. W's first car ride.
heart breakers right there :)

Now that our little guy is over a year old, the itch is happening for me to start changing out pieces in his adorable nursery!
Our particular piece has W's name + birthdate flying off of a soaring plane.
