Griffin has arrived and John Van and I can't seem to stop crying! We just sit in awe at our beautiful little boy. We are so excited about being parents are lives are finally complete. It is truly amazing.
My experience at the hospital couldn't of gone better. I had great nurses and such a great coach (John Van) We labored at home for 4 hours. My contractions started Friday the 16th at 6:30pm and we left for the hospital around 10:30pm. We got there and I was 3cm and was able to get my epidural when I reached 4cm.
When I got the epidural it only numbed one side. We got that worked on and I only had minimal pain on the right side. It was a good thing because I could still feel the contractions and knew when to push.
I finally went from 5cm to 10cm within an hour and the challenge was on. I pushed for 1hour and 10min and Griffin was born. 5:19 am Saturday the 17th of February. He weighed 6lbs 4oz and he was 20inches long.
The most amazing part was when they laid him on top of me for the first time. That's when the tears were unstoppable. I think John Van and I could of filled up a whole bucket. I think he looks like his daddy what do you all think?
