I’m sure you all know that our boy is finally here but I wanted to give a quick update and answer some of the questions we’ve been getting. On January 19th Austin and I went to KU to have my cerclage stitches removed. We were told that I was 2cm dilated and that we would be meeting our baby any day. I was finally taken off of bed rest so I was able to prepare for Gran’s arrival! I had an appointment on January 31st where my doctor said I was 5cm dilated and would be having a baby any time. Things were getting more and more uncomfortable every day. I was having contractions but I wasn’t in labor. When we woke up on February 2nd, Austin and I decided it was time to go to the hospital. When we arrived there I was 6cm but not in active labor. The doctors monitored my contractions for an hour and I was 7cm after that. I still wasn’t in active labor so the doctors started my epidural and gave me a small amount of pitocin. Labor finally started but my epidural didn’t work. Around 5:20 that evening, Granville decided he was ready to make his arrival and 30 minutes later he did just that. The doctors were throwing on gloves and gowns just in time! Our little boy that we thought was going to be a preemie/micro-preemie was born at 7lbs 9oz and was 19.9″ long! Talk about a pleasant surprise! He is doing so well and sleeping through the night! Ellie can not get enough of him! She is very protective of him and enjoys telling strangers that they aren’t allowed to look at her brother. We’ve had a lot of people asking us where we got the name Granville. Our son, Granville, is the 6th generation in my family to carry the name. His middle name, Lee, is a middle name that Austin and quite a few of our family members have. Another question that we have been asked quite a few times is when we will have him tested for Marfan Syndrome. To be quite honest, we don’t know when we will have him tested. We could do it anytime that we wanted to but we feel very at peace with our decision to wait for a short time. We can not thank all of you enough for your prayers throughout all of this!
