Patrick was warm and cozy in utero that the doctor recommended an induction. Six days past his due date he entered this world quickly. The doctor broke my water at 9:45 AM and after an intense, unmedicated labor, he was born at 12:45 PM. He was 9 pounds and 21 1/2 inches long. Mike was a great coach and helped me through the worst of the contractions. Our lamaze coach and friend, Tepu was also in the room to help me through the pain. Without the two of them I am not sure I would have been able to make it through. I am forever grateful for their encouragement and love. Mary met her little brother a few hours later and she fell in love with him. My parents were the next to meet their grandson and they were smitten with our little man as well. We can't wait for the rest of our family to fall in love with him. We are very blessed to have Patrick in our lives and we are enjoying every moment.
This isn't the greatest picture of me but this was taken on May 8th.
