Labor Day

So, I totally swiped this from Christina's blog (thanks!)!! Here's everything you never wanted to know about the birth of our sweet baby boy!!

Child/ren's Age? 18 months

Name? Preston Lee

Birthday? 3/31/07

Time of birth? 3:07 a.m.

How long did labor last? right at nine hours

Who was in the room when baby was born? Justin, my mom, Dr. Turner, Bernice (the nurse that sang "Happy birthday" to Preston) and the rest of the L & D staff

How long did you push? About 30 minutes (3 times)

Weight? 7lbs. 11oz.

Length? 17 1/4"

Any hair? A TON (literally a little fro!! Solid black... now it's light brown/dirty blonde/strawberry blonde!!!!)

Who does baby look like? JUST LIKE his daddy... so much so, someone even asked if I was in the delivery room when he was born!

Be honest...how much weight did you gain while pregnant? So embarrassed to say this... but over 70lbs. And that was before he was born... Justin ended up hiding the scales from me b/c the number along with hormones = depression!!!

Were they late or early? Early! He was due on April 10.

Who drove you to the hospital? Justin

How many baby showers did you have? I had 3 before he was born and 3 after.

When did baby start sleeping through the night? At 7 wks!!!! We were VERY lucky! (I definitely reccommend "Babywise" for you mommies to be!)

Did you breastfeed? I tried and was unsuccessful. Evidently, my breasts are just for decoration because they don't work.

Who keeps your baby the most? A wonderful Christian woman who God has blessed us with!

How did you pick the name? I love family names... fortunately we have good ones!! Preston is Justin's maternal grandfather's name and Lee is Justin's middle name

How did you know when it was time to go to hospitaI? My water broke... gross

Did you go home or somewhere else when you left the hospital? Home... where else would you go??

Anyone spend the night with you first night home? My wonderful mother!

Did you cry the first time you held the baby? I didn't cry, but I definitely got teary eyed.

Who cut the cord? Justin... after he said he wouldn't be sure if he could (weak stomach), which was one of many things he has done after thinking he would be grossed out by it.

Where was the baby born? Tupelo, MS

Did you video tape the birth? NOWAY

Are you happy with how things turned out? Absolutely!!! I had a great delivery!!

Do you want to have another? Totally!!! But in God's time!
