Gavin's second day

It was a busy night last night with not a lot of sleep (I'm sure most will be like that for awhile). So today the three of us rested up between feedings. Gavin had another good day and Nicole is doing great. Enjoy the pictures!

Gavin's First Afternoon

Gavin has had a great first afternoon and we'd like to thank everyone for all the well wishes. Grandpa and grandma Springer got to stop by for a visit and Gavin's looking foward to meeting everyone else. Gavin has a strong cry and likes to use it when he doesn't get his way. The nurses have been helping us get his feedings down and Nicole's been doing an amazing job. I even got to change his first diaper with a little help from the nurse. Thanks again everyone for all the well wishes and comments and we should get some more pictures up later tonight or early tomorrow.

PICTURES!

IT'S A BOY!!!

Gavin Thomas Springer is here and he is huge! He came in at a weight of 9 lbs 6 ounces and 21 1/2 inches long. We got in a little early and he was born at 11:53 this morning. Nicole did an awesome job and her and the baby are resting comfortably right now. Pictures will be posted shortly.

The day is here!

It's 9:20 on the big day and we're getting everything ready to head out to the hospital around 10:30 or so. The C-section starts at 12:30, but we'll have some preliminary activities starting at 11:00 or so. Here's the last belly pic of Nicole before the big event. Hopefully, we'll have a chance to update the blog again once or twice before the baby arrives and definitly check back later for pics of our new addition!

Last day of pregnancy!

We had our doctor’s appointment this morning and the baby is doing great. The NST and fluid all looks great the problem is that after the ultrasound the baby is measuring at 9lbs 4ozs! Although there is a margin of error with the ultrasound results we wanted to weigh on the cautious side and have a c-section scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. I really didn’t want to have a c-section but because of the potential size of the baby and the potential risks for the baby that come with delivering naturally we went with the c-section route which our doctor strongly encouraged. It’s crazy to think that we are actually going to have a baby tomorrow. I think Ryan and I are both still trying to comprehend it and are nervous and excited at the same time. We have a Pre-Admission appointment this afternoon to go over all the details for tomorrow’s big event. Ryan will be updating the blog tomorrow with all the details once the little one has arrived so stay tuned.

Due Date

So today is my due date and still no baby! I'm not really that suprised since I haven't really had many contractions at all and really think that I am going to end up having to be induced. We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and should know what the plan is after the appointment. Hopefully we'll get lucky and will be able to schedule a date to be induced this coming week and not have to wait another week. Ryan and I are getting very excited to meet our baby and find out if it's a boy or girl. We'll keep you posted!
