To all our LOYAL readers... I apologize for just now updating! It's been 10 days to long... I promise that it WILL get better! To tell you the truth and I am really not trying to make excuses... I have just been busy this week! I mean you know having a baby and all! :)
Now that I have your attention let's back it up...
June 6th
Beep and I arrive at the hospital at 9:30. I was having some MAJOR anxiety... NO LIE! I prayed up until we walked through the ER doors, asking God to please send me a sign letting me know that everything would be just fine. :) As we were waiting on the elevator, I turned around and out of a room behind us came two men, dressed in black dress suits, and they were rolling out someone all ZIPPED up in a BODY BAG! OMG!!! Really?!? Not, really the sign that I was looking for...
Super, we have been at the hospital less than 10 minutes and the tears are already building up in my BIG green eyes! Beep was thinking... "Oh lordy, this could be a LONG day!"
Out the elevator and we are off to Labor and Delivery. Round the corner and there is Joey, Nicole, and Flipper! To sweet... after some high-fives we were off to check-in.
I was not heading back for surgery until 12:00, so we had two hours to chill-out, take pictures, and attempt to take-in what was actually about to happen. Those two hours flew by and before I knew it was SHOW TIME...
I enter the all white, super cold room (which felt wonderful) and I was thinking, "Is it to late to back out?" They asked if some Kilgore College interns could watch... I told them that they could, but if I catch any of them posting it on you tube I would hunt them down. :) I am still on the look out!
Shake.. Poke... Shake... Poke... Shake... Stab... Went my back! Spinal Block, FINALLY in... Legs go numb... and I am still in SHAKE CITY. I literally thought that I was going to shake off the table. They straped down my arms and put up the sheet! I was ready to see Beep and my Mama walk through the doors!
The doors open and here came my "SMURFS," Beep and my Mama! Beep sat right by me and my Mama had a side shot and watched everything that was going on. (No lie she could have delivered her grandson, with no problem!) :) I kept asking Beep, "are you okay?" I didn't need him hitting the floor! (No worries, he was a champ!) Also, Thanks Mom for being one "tuff cookie" and taking pictures, while your daughter was being "sliced & diced! The pictures you took were priceless!!!
"Your going to feel some pressure," says Dr. Hutchison. PRESSURE?! It felt as though they had lifted my legs up in the air over my head. I felt all the blood rush to my head and then, at 12:28, my ears heard the most precious sound... our little baby boy! My eyes were immediately filled with tears of HAPPINESS. I couldn't believe that he was finally here! They whisked him away and I watched from the side as Kingston's proud Daddy cut the cord.
Beeper walked over and kneeled down beside me... and then he kindly introduced me to our son! The proudest moment in my life was right then, this was the son that we had been praying for! He was perfect... and he was ours!
Kingston Hunter Kraus was born at 12:28 p.m. He weighed in at 9lbs. 6.7oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. (He be BIG BOY... BIG BOY long time!)
I am so glad that he is finally here, healthy and ready to enjoy life with his Mama, Daddy, and Bailey Boo!
So here are some long overdue pictures of my precious baby boy and all his family and friends that helped welcome him into the world! :)
