Maddox William made his long-awaited grand entrance at 2:31 pm on Saturday July 19. After a very long night and a seemingly even longer day, he surprised everyone by coming at least 5 hours earlier than anticipated. God bless the person who invented the epidural-- and my anesthesiologist.
His stats were 6 lbs, 15 oz and 19.5 inches long. By 7 days old he'd made his first-- and surely not last-- trip to the emergency room at Scottish Rite. Thankfully he was just jaundiced and we were able to be released Sunday mid-afternoon. I don't think Taylor and I would have made it that weekend without great friends and our family. We would have starved... how do they expect kids to eat that junk?
He's a beautiful, happy, healthy baby boy. I never imagined that I'd love him so much!
