He’s here

Today we welcomed  our second son Damon Michael.  He surprised us by coming early just like his brother.  I was getting ready for work and my water broke.  I was 37 weeks so I wasn’t totally surprised since older brother came at 36 weeks and I had a loooong time before I was even contracting. Planned on the same thing.  Joel and taken Ezra to his Spanish class and since it was parent/child one I didn’t want to bother them right then because I knew I had some time.  I gave work a call and told them the situation and then  I hopped in the shower to get ready for the day one last time before the days of no shower, hair, make up would come to be again.  After I was ready I still wasn’t even contracting even the tiniest bit and was considering driving myself to the hospital but thought nah, I’ll wait and decided to call my mom.  She ended up picking me and taking me in.  After I was all checked in my plan was to have a repeat C-section.  I did not want to repeat what happened last time and Damon was alrady measuring bigger so the odds of a successful VBAC were not in my favor.  BUt since I had eaten breakfast, before my water broke, I needed to wait 6 hours for my food to digest, before I had the c-section.  Of course, Damon had other plans and decided he was ready now.  After 2 hours from when my water broke I was in the OR being prepped for the C-section.  Joel barely even made it.  And we welcomed Damon Michael at 1:03pm.  He weighed 8lbs. 3oz .
He are so in love with him.
