Welcome Jacob

Jacob William Wright joined our family on January 7, 2010 at 6:22pm. He weighed in at 6 lbs 9 oz and 19 1/2 inches long.

It was definitely a long day at the hospital. We left the house at 4am and picked up Aunt Marisa and headed down to Bronxville. We did some hospital paperwork and then waited for blood work and got the show on the road. The doctor came in and broke my water (which was really gross) and gave me Pitocin (to start labor) and we were on the way. After about an hour and a half of labor, I opted for some drugs. After that, labor was ok. After a few hours, the doctor checked and I was not dialating so we waited some more and at about 5:30pm decided to do a C section. I was prepped and moved out. Both sets of grandparents waited anxiously in the waiting room.

At 6:22pm, Jacob finally joined us. He scored a perfect 10 on the Apgar scale and was beautiful. He was whisked away to the nursery and Daddy went with him. I hung around for a while as the doctors finished me up and then I was wheeled into recovery feeling nauseous and tired and looking forward to really seeing my son.

In recovery I had some visitors. Grandma Claire & Grandpa Leo came in but I could barely open my eyes. Grandpa Paul & Grandma Sue came also. Soon I headed up to my room where we were reunited with Jacob. It was pretty late and I was wiped out. Everyone went home and we called it a night.
