Well we're pleased to announce baby "tbd," Benjamin's new baby brother. This will just be a quick post with a couple of pictures, because we're still busy doing the new parents thing. We were greatly blessed that Grandma Cannon could be here to make our visit to the hospital worry free. Benjamin loves grandma and has been having a good time.
Sarah and I went called into the hospital early Monday morning and arrived just before 8:00 am. They began the induction around 10:30. Because she was being induced, Sarah thought she'd opt for the epidural. She did try to progress as long as she could naturally prior to getting the anesthesia; she was a rockstar. After the epidural I felt pretty useless, so she slept and I watched Cash Cab for a while.
Around 6:00 pm the nurses checked out how things were going and thought it was time to get the Dr. in fast. The baby was born at 6:40 pm after less than 5 minutes of pushing. Way to go Sarah.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, he is cute! Those CHEEKS! And red hair!! I didn't expect for him to be a red head, though at the same time I couldn't imagine another Cannon-baby-look besides Benjamin. How cool is that? He's adorable. We're so happy for you! Best wishes in all the changes and adjustments for the next few days. Most of all, we hope you can get lots of sleep. He is darling.
ReplyDeleteLove, your baby's big fans,

P.S.- I was the one who deleted the comment above-- I wish it didn't say that! But I just wanted to add that you look wonderful, Sarah! I think of how petite you are and how big of a baby you had and think WOW. Wow, wow, wow. You are amazing.
What a cutie! We can't wait to meet him. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing! I'm so impressed and so grateful that it all went so relatively smoothly. He's adorable, and I can't wait to hold that little boy and give his mommy a great big hug. And maybe a backrub after all that work you went through to get him out into this world. Love you!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm glad everything went well.
ReplyDeleteHe looks so much like Benjamin in that last picture. I love all of his hair.
Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteI love the pics - he looks like Benjamin. Sarah - great work on laboring, only five minutes of pushing sounds really nice. He's a big boy for coming so early - I wonder how big he would have been at full-term.
Good work, glad everyone is healthy and happy.
