Happy Birthday Cam!

Cameron Lee Scoresby was born today at 3:13 AM!

Annie started having contractions at 3:30 in the afternoon. By 8 PM they were taking her breath away, and 6 minutes apart. Since she was pretty fast for the first two we went right to the hospital. But since she wasn't dilated much they weren't very impressed, and when the contractions slowed to 10 and 20 minutes apart they sent us home. We were pretty disappointed/teed off.

When we got home the contractions got stronger and stronger. Being sent home was really a blessing in disguise, allowing us to catch up on some seriously missed TV shows. By 1 AM they were super hard and coming every 5 min., so we went back. Unbelievably, she hadn't progressed much, but they admitted us anyway. Annie was having a fairly rough time with the contractions, but finally she got the epidural at about 2:50. The babies heart rate got really low, and they were trying to reposition the monitors to see what was up when they finally realized it wasn't the epidural that made the heart rate low, it was just that the baby was about to come.  She went from a 3 to 10 in 2 hours and at 3:13 AM he was here. No wonder those contractions were hard to handle!

7 Lbs, 6 oz.s
20 3/4 inches.

We're not really sure quite yet, but we might have another red head on our hands. I know we're pretty biased, but he sure seems beautiful in these pictures, which isn't always true for minutes old babies.

We'll keep you posted, I'm sure we'll have a gazillion more pictures to post soon.

Didn't you just barely announce she was pregnant? No fair other people's pregnancies go so fast.

Wow, he IS cute. Usually newborn babies look like old men or aliens. Not Cameron! Congratulations you two, I'm thrilled for you.

He is indeed beautiful! Congratulations to all of you. Emmalee came home from school on Friday and told me Halle Beth had a new baby at her house. I wasn't sure I believed her. I should know better!

Jodie said...

PS - Is Halle bugged that you didn't name him Sam? :)

Grandma M. said...
