Born 3-4-2011 at 3:56pm
8lbs 6oz
21" long
The adventure to the birth: I had an appointment on Tuesday and had measured with increase fluid in my uterus so they wanted to break my water in a controlled environment due to potential challenges that could occur with the umbilical cord. They attempted to schedule me for an induction on Wednesday, but no "womb" was available. They then scheduled me for Thursday morning, but when we called to check in 2 hours before, they stated that they didn't have a "womb" available for me again and that they would call later morning. Later morning came and still no "womb". Evening came and still no "womb". Later evening came and still no "womb". We were then tentatively scheduled for Friday morning and was confirmed at 5:30am in the morning with a 7:30am check in. Momma Melville was induced at 9:00am and proceeded with contractions until they broke my water at 1:45pm. That is when things really kicked in! The pushing process started at 3:50 and Garrett was born at 3:56! Yes, 6 minutes and two pushes! Both Mother and Baby are healthy and doing well!
The beautiful introduction of Brothers: Ethan was instantly and truly in love with Garrett. Stating several times, "He's so cute!" He had lots of "Why" questions. A beautiful parenting moment that warmed our hearts as Ethan's genuine love for others (in this case for his new baby brother) came very apparent!
