Words cannot describe how completely blessed we are! Grayson Douglas Sills arrived into the world on February 20, 2012. He was 21 ½” long and weighed 7.9 lbs and had a gorgeous head of hair!
Chad and I started our morning off pretty early arriving at the hospital a little after 6 am. I was pretty excited when Paula our nurse walked in. She was the same nurse / instructor that we had for all of our classes, so I felt completely comfortable with herJ. I don’t remember which happened first, but I think that my water was broke and then we started inducing the labor. For the first few hours everything was progressing really nicely. I was able to walk around the Labor and Delivery part of the hospital in order to get the labor moving and in order to deal with the contractions.
After about 8 hours of being in labor, things stopped progressing. Grayson was not handling the contractions well and his heart rate would fall after each one. Our nurse Paula walked in and told us that there was a possibility that we would need a C-Section. After about another hour of being in labor, Paula walked back in and told us that we needed a C-Section and that our Doctor was on her way over. At this point in time in was about 3 P.M. I was wheedled back to the operating room and about 10 minutes later, Chad was finally able to come back to the operating room too. If you ask Chad, those 10 minutes was the longest of his life.
Grayson Douglas was born at 3:17 P.M. He is a beautiful healthy little boy!
We were able to spend the rest of the afternoon as a family of Three! We are so lucky and so blessed that we had family around to support and lift us up. Grayson is so loved-already!
