Well, after a loooooong labor, baby Evan Stanley Palczewski has made his arrival! He was born at 6:41 a.m. today weighing in at a hefty 8lbs. 15oz. and 20.5in long. Melissa was such a trooper, I have the utmost respect for my wonderful wife for what I witnessed today while she was giving birth. Never again will I bust her chops for being a sissy!!!!!!!!! Melissa started pushing at 3:40 and by 5:40 the nurses stoppped the pushing and went to get the doctor. Dr. H was a little busy, so momma and me got a few needed winks. Dr. H came in checked Melissa and told her that she could help the birth with a vacuum. The doctor vacuumed, and pulled and pulled, and then Evan got stuck. The nurses had to make several calls. They finally got him out, he was rushed to his warming table so that he could be suctioned and cleaned and then..................he cried! That was the best sound two very nervous parents could hear! We were nervous that he was not making a sound upon delivery, but the doctor said that it was from being stuck.
I just walked our son to the nursery to be checked for temperature and to get his first bath. He has a bruised head and forearm from the delivery, but other than that, our son is doing great!!!!
Oh, he is beautiful! I am so happy for you both and I am sure you are relieved that the anticipation is over. I love his name, Evan, that was one that I had on my favorites list. Enjoy your time with your son and get some rest! :)
