Embry David is here!!

Introducing Embry David York!

Embry came a few days earler than planned! I had a C-section sceduled for the 5th but went into labor Feb 29 after working a busy last day and meeting my friend Kate for coffee until 11:30! On the way home I was talking to my brother andf said, " I gotta go. These contractions are getting painful!" Since I had been with him the day that the other two were born I thought it just might be because I was talking to him and he has some kind of magic about him-haha! I was not ready to go into labor! I was exhausted after a day that started at 5 am and I still had office notes to finish from work. Plus both boys were asleep... and I had my surgery scheduled with a hernia repair at the same time and I knew it wouldn't happen if I went into labor early! I got hom and kept telling Wes, "I don't wanna do this tonight!" But, they got stronger so we packed up all 4 of us very quickly and took the boys to our sitter's house to spend the night. We walked in at 1 am and Collin said, "Waffle" and headed to her kitchen because that's his usual morning routine at her house! Anyways, Wes and I drove to the hospital where they held off my contractions until morning with IV fluids. The doctor came around the next day about 9 and said I had progressed enough that she could do the seciton early. She tried to get my other surgeon on board for the hernia but he couldn't do it so I was disappointed but so excited ot have Embry here early!!! After a not so easy C-section (my epidural took awhile to work so they had to give me more and then my BP and pulse were erratic and freaked me out), he was born at 11 am exactly and weighed 7 pounds 2 oz and was 19 3/4 long...almost exactly Collin's weight and height! He looks exactly like his brothers on their first few days!!!We are trying to adjust now at home with three boys but loving every minute of having Embry with us. How blessed we are for this little guy and so undeserving of him and his good health. Praise God for such a sweet surprise!!!... and I did finish all my notes right up until the surgery working on my laptop-haha!
