On June 30th (my due date) our new little family member was born at 1:42 am! It was an extremely long day. It started at 2:38 that morning with contraction every 10 minutes. Finally at about 4:30 Matt was getting ready to leave for work when I finally said "umm I think you should know I have been having contractions pretty consistantly for the past two hours". So he made a few phone calls and we headed to the hospital. When we were checked out I was still one cm but 70% effaced which was the only difference from the appointment last week. So I was sent home. We went to Kristen and Dj's until 2:30 the contractions were two powerful. Once again to the hospital! Once we were checked this time i was 3 cm so they sent me walking for two more hours. Well, I made it about hour and a half we went finally was admitted. We headed to the delivery room and a few hours later he was here! 6 lbs 13 oz and 21 in long. He was born with a cleft lip just like his cousin. It is really minor. He will have the surgery to correct at about 2-3 months and we are getting in contact with the department at the naval hospital on monday to set up a consultation.
