5lbs 6.4 oz - 17.75 in
Garrett arrived at 35 weeks gestation. Thursday night was filled with contractions and cramping which sent us to Labor and Delivery. The nurses and doctors made every attempt to stop them but they continued and increased in strength, duration and frequency. At 6am Friday, I had begun to dilate to the point that they needed to take action. They quickly prepped me with an epideral for a repeat c-section. By 7am, my doctor arrived, I was fully dilated and the little guy was on his way out so quickly the decision was made to have a VBAC. Garrett arrived minutes later at 7:13am. The best part is that he shares the same birthday as Grandpa Webster!!
He spent his time in the hospital in the Level II nursery in an isollette. His respitory was up and down at first but then leveled off. He also had to prove he could maintain temperature. We were thrilled to find out this afternoon that his pediatrician was releasing him.
We're all doing great! Here are some photos.
