Announcing Baby David - Born 08/02/2006

Just got enough energy to post this after about 4 days with little to no sleep.
We arrived at Winnie Palmer Hospital @ 5:00am on 08/02/2006. Leah was induced with Oxytocin (not really "induced" as she was already having contractions that morning) at about 7:00am. After about 16 hours of labor and worry our little man was here.
-We couldn't get the babies heart rate up for a few hours and they tried to get us to go c-section. We had them stop the contractions with medication to give David a break then restarted the contractions. Apparently it was enough of a break to get his strength back and his heart rate up.
David Bradley Stroupe was born on 08/02/2006 at 11:02pm est. He weighed in at 7 pounds 11 ounces, was 19.5 inches long and is very healthy (has all his fingers and toes and stuff  .
We're finally home and settled in with baby and doing great. Leah is recovering well and ready to do it all over again (Kidding about that last part). It was the most amazing experience of my life and I'll never forget it! Well, just wanted to fill you guys in.
P.S.
Sorry bout the scrolling page and so many pics. I'm way to tired to resize the pics to make it more "readable". Talk to you guys in a few days.
BJ, Leah & David
Arrived here (Winnie Palmer Hospital) @ 5:00am.
Before the pain...it was all good!
Nervously waiting...
Couple of quick family photos.
Moments after delivery.
Papa (grandad was emotional)
Everyone taking turns holding David (me first).
Even uncle J eventually had a turn later on.

And the rest...
FINALLY HOME!!!

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Congratulations! What a beautiful little guy! Leah looks like she made a good recovery, too. You realize you will never sleep again.
Thank you for the pics. My husband made me stop yelling, "Joe, Joe, come look."

Prayers answered.
You had us scared there for awhile. So glad everyone's safe and sound. Prepare for the rollercoaster ride of your life, man.
Lots of hugs and kisses to that bride of yours. She's the one who did the heavy lifting. Us guys are just along for the ride. (I swear that if giving birth were left to the male of the species, we'd be extinct within one generation  ).

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.
