Levi Ray
Born 6-12-12, 6:30pm, weighing 8lbs. 8oz., 20 in long...
...and 37cm head size. (34 is considered 'large')
Which led to:
Not what we planned, but both mommy and baby are doing great. Daddy got to sit in and took some great pictures. He was also a huge help and support for me.
And here is our cute baby boy!
We're so, so happy, excited, thrilled, overjoyed, blessed (etc.) that he has joined our family. It's been a long road, as most of you know, but God is so faithful and he has given us such an incredible gift.
To recap:
I had a dr's appointment Monday morning and because I was nine days beyond my due date they wanted to induce. That night. So, after all of the important phone calls and exciting news, Tim and I checked into the hospital at 7pm.
I was given some drugs to move things along, but they didn't. So around 4pm on Tuesday the doctor came in to talk to us about what would be the best thing to do. Baby Ferg (as he was still known as then) was being a little stubborn and still liked it a little too much inside momma.
I just got Levi nursed and in bed, so this is to be continued...

Waiting
Here we are, two days after D-Day and Baby Ferg is still as cozy as ever in there. And still a wiggle worm. No new symptoms to report. No contractions or embarrassing water leakage. Just time. And while I'm enjoying it, I'm still so anxious for this little blessing to get here.
Thankfully the vast majority of people at church yesterday were still normal towards me. Unfortunately that did not include the very first person I saw as I walked in the door. I was greeted with, not "Good Morning" or "How are you?" but, "You're still here?!" :-/ Tim told me I should've said, "It's a pregnancy, not a disease!" Of course I didn't think of that at the time. I just graciously smiled, said "yep" and kept on going. I wonder if people realize that we're not stalling this on purpose, that we actually do realize that my due date was two days ago, that there's really nothing else to do but wait... Unless you count those who give you the advice of jumping on a pogo stick. Wha?
Our church uses a Phone Tree system for prayer chain calls and other announcements, etc. We got a call Saturday afternoon about the Sunday morning men's prayer. Normal. What I didn't realize was that a couple people, who mentioned this to me on Sunday, thought it was a call about us having the baby. Um, not gonna use the church phone tree to announce Baby Ferg. It will obviously end up being announced on Facebook, but we're not in any hurry. We're more concerned about enjoying this time and sharing it with family and close friends.
