Baby Drake finally made his arrival and is home safe and sound and we couldn't be happier!
His birth story was crazy, he was traverse (sideways) and had a secluded c section. But thanks to some amazing doctors and nurses the morning of the surgery who offered me options beyond those given by my own doctor, he was able to be turned. This allowed me to give birth naturally which has been my goal since having Tate and was an answer to prayers in ways I can't describe, including allowing me to hold and cuddle all of my other smalls which was something that had weighed heavy on my mind with the thought of a c section. In fact, it went so well, we were both released 24 hours later and are home learning how to be a family of six!
Baby Drake, like the others, brings a beautiful spirit into our home that only he can. All of his siblings adore him and can't get enough! (So do his mommy and daddy!) There is nothing like going through the ups and downs of labor and all of the struggle and ending up with a beautiful child who is nothing less than a miracle. Baby Drake has already taught me so much and I know he's meant to be here and be part of our family at this time.
Welcome to the world and our crazy family baby Drake! We will try not to smother you too much with all our kisses!
Oh yeah, he was a whopping 6lbs 3oz 19.5 in long!! SO tiny we don't know what to do with him!
Pictures:
Emerson was the best prenatal doctor I had, although she did say my heart wasn't beating a few times!
Tate wearing a hat of grandpa Charlie's from a play
Zane learned to hold his bottle about a week before Drake got here and it's been a life saver
And the man of the hour! The first thing he did when he was born was suck his thumb and he came home in the same outfit that Tate and Zane came home in!
