He came a few weeks early, but our son, Greyson, was born on Monday, June 2 at 12:46 am.
Patty's water broke at 5:30 am on Sunday and we left for the hospital an hour later. During that hour, Josh vaccumed the family room and spazzed out about not knowing what to wear. When we got to the hospital, Patty was started immediately on Pitocin and the contractions escalated over the next few hours, reaching a crescendo at about 1pm. After testing the excruciating waters of being un-medicated, Patty got an epidural around 3 pm. Although the medication stopped Patty's pain, it also put the brakes on the labor. The contractions almost stopped completely and didn't get going again for several hours. It took until 9 pm for the contractions to build sufficiently for the real fun to begin. Patty pushed like a champ for about 3 and a half hours until little Greyson finally popped out. He was gross. After they cleaned him, he was beautiful, weighing 7 lbs. with a length of 20 inches.
Here are some of the early pictures
