He has finally arrived and by the weight and height of him not a moment to soon! Davis Matthew Hall was born on Monday August 25th at 6:43 p.m. After an entire day of contractions, he was not moving any lower into my pelvis. Davis was so happy curled up near my ribs the Dr. told me I had 2 choices either deliver Davis via my nostrils or have a c-section. Well obviously my first choice was c-section so into the O.R. we went. For the first time since this journey started I was actually petrified. I will spare the details of the surgery, but lets just say there is something very unsettling about people cutting into your abdomen while you are wide awake. Thank goodness they went that route though because at 21 inches and 8 lbs. 11 oz. I am sure that is the only way he was going to fit! What a looker though! I know this is his mother speaking here but really he is a handsome devil. Not sure the pics do it justice but his dirty blond hair has highlights and he has dark blue eyes.
As for me I am healing well and happy to have the bugger at home! Thank you everyone for the visits and phone calls. We are looking forward to getting him out in public and showing him off to family and friends shortly. FYI.. it is difficult for us to get to cell phones in a timely manner these days so feel free to call the house line to talk to us. 732-383-7366. Look for email pics to come from Eric or I soon.
I have to say for someone that was not much of a kid person or has never even held a newborn before I love this little guy!
Oh yeah also the contest. The winner is Erica Lebow! Just FYI the fewest amount of points wins just like golf. Go to http://expectnet.com/games/davisarrival to view the results.
