This morning at 1:51 am Spencer decided it was his time. Chrystal and I were lounging around before bed when she started to have contractions at about 9:00pm on Sunday night. We read up on the differences between false labor and labor in the baby bible. Slowly we got ready as we timed the contractions and decided shortly before midnight this was the real deal. We got here and had quick check to see he was still breech making it an easy decision for the doctor. I got front row seats to the c-section.
Spencer was 6 lbs and 3 oz while measuring in at 19 inches. According to his mom he has my lips and chin and her nose. He has a head full of dark hair and the longest fingers and toes we have ever seen. With being only 37 weeks he did have some respiratory trouble. After I took him to the nursery for his bath I took him to the NICU for some oxygen. He has some fluid in his lungs due to his early arrival and c-section. He is off oxygen as of now and has very good vital signs. Once he is off the antibiotics he will be moved back in with Chrystal and I.
Chrystal has been a real trooper. She has gotten up and taken a lap around the room. I have helped load her up in a wheel chair so we can have some family time with Spencer in the NICU. She is healing great and loving her new role as mom.
I know there are no pictures yet. I tried to load them on this laptop I am borrowing with no luck. Perhaps I will be able to get back to the house for a few minutes to post them. Thank you to everyone for your well wishes and prayers. I promise to keep you all updated as we start our lives as parents.
