Welcome Everett

LOMAX
BABY BOY
05/15/10 1302
At birth he was 7lbs 6oz and 20 in. in length. We'll cal him Everett. Well, Ivan still has his preference in a name, but we plan to change his mind.

Delivery, for us, started last Monday with a false alarm test run. The real deal started this morning at about 02:30. A couple of showers followed by timing and tracking, while assembling a puzzle, led to a trip to the hospital. Once at the hospital, a second hour of walking followed the first hour, while the doc finished up his race for the cure. Lunch was cut short to get down to business.

Lori did a fantastic job, despite some complications and associated pain and dscomfort.. Three pushes, wait for the doc to catch up to us, then one more contraction and some pushing ended at 2 minutes after one. This time she got to have baby in her arms, without delay.

We snapped a few pictures and shared our new bundle with family. We are so happy that he has finally arrived.
