We're having a Baby!

Here are some picture, more to come. Isn't he cute :)

First moments with Mom.












Here is the "Mini me" pose.



















7:37 pm - We have a baby boy. He weighs 7 lbs 11 oz, 20 inches long. He has curly dark hair, long fingers and long fingernails. He's quite peaceful. He has the pouting face down, and makes an occasional whimper ( it's almost like a small squeak ) when you move him.

6:50pm - Marci is currently a little more than a '7'. Her parents are here and now we get to have a nursing shift change. Contractions are coming about every 2 minutes quite regularly.

5:50pm - Marci has gone from a '4' to a '6' in little over an hour. She's still doing well. The nurse is starting to get everything ready, and Marci's parents have been called, so it shouldn't be long now.

4:45pm - Marci is being quite the slow poke, so the nurse came in and increased the oxytocin. She is currently at a '4' and so the nurse will check back in an hour or so. Baby looks great, Marci's blood pressure has remained high all day, but she is doing ok. We have an awesome nurse 'Regina' that is taking good care of us. We just finished watching 'Taken' with Liam Neeson. All I can say is 'Dang, is there anyone left alive in that movie?'. Kids are at Marci's parents today, we are sad to hear that Sadie isn't feeling well. As we get closer to delivering, her parents will come over, and her brother Jay will take over watching the kids. The kids are super excited to get a little brother.


1:25pm - Dr Irion came in to break her water, so that should get things going.

1:15pm - Epidural is in, and soon will be worth it :) We had a very good Anesthesiologist compared to the last baby, he was even cracking jokes. ( "What did the Zero say to the Eight? Nice belt");

11:40am - Right now she's hooked up to oxytocin and doing well, and we're kicking back watching Valkyrie.

11:15am - This is Rob. Marci has put me in charge of blogging today. We are here at Intermountain Medical Center. We arrived around 10:30am and were able to get checked in quickly. We have a great nurse that is taking care of us.
Of course Marci had to have prima-donna veins, and get the Anesthesiologist to put in her I.V after one unsuccessful ( but painful ) stick.
