It's been over a month since my last post. The reason being we finally welcomed our little bundle into the world. He is god greatest gift to us and we are so richly blessed to be his Mommy and Daddy!
Here is a short version of Cru's birth story. We don't want to bore you or gross you out with too many details:
Cru Allen Dobson was born on 2/27/13 at 9:52 pm. I was a nervous wreck when we checked into the hospital that morning. The unknown of what the day was going to bring left me feeling very anxious and scared. We checked in at 11:30 am and once we were settled around 1:00 pm my dr started the pitocin and broke my water. Contractions were bearable until about 3:00 pm when we ordered the epidural. Two hours later the anesthesiologist FINALLY showed up and after she worked her magic, the rest of the day was a piece if cake! Around 9:20 pm I started pushing and at 9:52 we welcomed our sweet, precious boy!
Justin (with the help of the dr) delivered our son and cut the cord. The whole experience was so peaceful and wonderful! It turned out so much better then either Justin or I could have imagined! I know it was because so many people were praying for us and once again god showed us his faithfulness and awesomeness and made the day perfect with no complications.
Cru was born at 8.85 lbs and 20.5 inches. He cried for a short second and after that was so alert and mellow! Our love for him was an intense and instantaneous love. I couldn't believe the miracle of growing and having him, it sometimes still doesn't seem real that I am his mommy!
The hospital staff and our dr were incredible. They doted on us and made our stay perfect!
Cru is a perfect baby! He eats well, sleeps well and is all around a perfect boy! We are completely smitten!
So that's my short little birth story for y'all! Here are some photos of the day, Justin did a great job of capturing everything!
