The New Addition!

Boston Lance Clark
July 11, 2008
Born at 1:23 pm
8 lbs. 19 3/4 inches long
Me right before I we headed off to the hospital. (It's a bad picture and doesn't show how big I really looked very well, but I was in the middle of a contraction in the picture and just wanted to get to the hospital) I had started getting inconsistent contraction around 8:00 am, but I didn't really think much of it. Then around 9:30 they started to get consistent and they jumped from being about 7 minutes apart to 3 minutes apart in a matter of minutes. So I finished getting really (I know, I just should have left at that point) and we headed to the hospital, which is about a 20 minute ride from our house. In the car my contraction got to be able 1 minute apart (Lance says that they were less than that) and I was dying! Of pain obviously, not for real. Anyway, we got to the hospital, they got me a wheelchair and wheeled me up to the maternity ward. They got me all set up and checked me to see how far I was ... I was an 8! The nurse said I could be more but she wasn't about to push anymore because she didn't want to break my water. Then she asked if I wanted an epidural. I think I said yes before she ever even got the question all the way out. She told me that they would try, but that I was pretty far along and moving fast so they would try to hurry through everything so I could get one, but there was no guarantee. This is the point that I really started to flip out! I NEEDED an epidural!! Anyway, we got all the papers signed and filled out and they wheeled me off to a delivery room and who happened to be just standing out in the hall at that very moment but the anesthesiologist!! HURRAY!! Someone does love me! So he was able to come right in and give me one! A little while later the doctor came in and broke my water and 4 contractions later I had Boston! What a night and day difference there was between this delivery and my last one! I was in the hospital for about 2 1/2 hours with Boston before I had him. With Brynlee I was in the hospital for 14 hours and pushed for a whopping 3 hours before she decided to grace us with her presence.

She was pretty interested in this little guy.

Say CHEESE!
She wanted to hold him all by herself. She was so proud of herself!

Grandma has got the touch!

Going home!
We are so happy to have Boston here and that he is happy and healthy.

ok NOT FAIR! How did you pull off looking flawless before and AFTER the birth of that beautiful little boy?!!! I love labor stories, I cant blieve you made it to an 8 and even more so that you were able to get an epidural. I would freak out too! Glad all went well :)

The Martinez Fam

Congrats on the new addition!! He is so cute and it looks like Brynlee is enjoying him!:) Thankfully you got your epidural. They really are a life-saver. That happened to me w/ Kaybree, but the anesthesiologist was busy, so he didn't make it in time. Anyway, congats again. He's a cutie!!

Casey and Tami Parry Family

Congratulations! I have been wondering if you had him so I'm glad to hear the news and that everything seemed to go pretty well. Like everyone else said, how did you manage to look like you had just gotten ready for the day right after giving birth? When will you be back this way? I'm excited to see you guys and your new little Boston.
