~He’s Here and So Worth The 12 Hour Wait~

Peyton Bradley was born on Friday, February 5th, at 9:18 pm. Weighed 8 lbs, 6 oz and was 21 inches long.

Here is Peyton looking at his mommy shortly after he was born.

And here is his mommy looking back at him.

 

The delivery went very well and smoothly. The labor was another story…Kim went into the hospital at 8 am and they induced her around sometime around 9 am. Nothing really changed for several hours, but we did have a moment that scared us all. About 3 hours before he was born, Peyton’s heart rate started to drop and they thought that  it might be a cord issue. Mommy got put on oxygen and they turned her on one side and then the other. Things went well for a while and then the alarm went off again. This time they sat her up instead…and it seem to work. Thank goodness no more alarms were going off !!

We all (both sets of grandparents and my youngest DD, Laura) got sent to the waiting area about 7:30 pm. At about 8:30 pm, my son-in-law’s mother went to the nurse’s station to see how things were going, but no baby yet. At about 9:20 pm, Laura begged me to go check with the nurses…so off down the hallway I went. When I got to the nurse’s station, no one was in there…so I was hoping that meant they were all in her room which was right across from there. Well…I knew I was right when I heard Peyton’s cry coming from behind the closed-door!! I went back to the waiting room and said…”Guess What I Just Heard??!!!” It wasn’t long after that and we all got to go meet him. But I have to tell you…that was the longest 2 hour wait!!

Here he is with both his mommy and daddy.

Because of the time that he was born and the snowstorm, Josie didn’t get to see him until Saturday…but we all talked to her on the phone that evening. She asked me…Grandma, is he cute?…Does he look like me?…Does he have hair?…What color is it? (Yes…he does have hair and it is dark, just not as dark as Josie’s.)

Here is Josie and Peyton on Saturday or as Josie’s would say…my favorite P B & J.

They got to go home today and are getting all settled in. And now this grandma has to get back to working on those blankets that I’m embroidering for our EMS department…need to get them delivered by this coming Friday. So, I will leave you with a couple more photos.

~and one more of Peyton.~

I think my son-in-law, Mark, said it best…”Peyton, I think you are the most beautiful baby boy that I’ve ever seen.”  Until next time…..     prim blessings, Cindy

~Our Grandson And A Snowstorm Are Both Arriving Today~

 

Just a quick post to let you know that my daughter is going into the hospital this morning at 8am for the doctor to induce labor…so Peyton Bradley will be arriving soon!! Hopefully, by this time tomorrow I will have held him in my arms for the first time. I can’t wait to see what Josie thinks of her little brother…she has been telling me that they will be grandma’s favorite P B & J!! (Peyton Bradley & Josie)

Please keep us all in your thoughts as we travel to and from the hospital…we have a major snowstorm that will be hitting us today and Saturday. They are saying that the snow totals will be around 10 to 12 inches with some ice also. Who knows…we might just be camping out at the hospital for weekend!!

I’ll be back soon with some pictures to share. Until then…   prim blessings, Gramma Cindy
