Its A Boy!!

We are proud to announce the birth of Coleton Brady Comstock born on Saturday April 18, 2008 at Madison Memorial Hospital at 11:51am!! He was 7lbs 8oz and 19inches long!

It all started Friday night when we were out on our date i didn't seem to feel good. Knowing that i was getting closer to my due date which was April 18Th i figured i would be feeling well. i had already dilated to a three and was 90% effaced i could go anytime i still though it was a normal pregnancy yucky feeling. That night after cleaning the kitchen and watch a jazz game we went to bed to see if i could sleep it off. Around 5 am i woke up with a small stomach ache from what i thought was food i had eaten at wingers. I layed in bed and after an hour started to cramp up i went to the bathroom and realized that i was starting to bleed. Afraid that something might be wrong with the baby and calling my sister Caetie, we headed to the hospital about 7am and when we arrived to labor and delivery (which was five minutes from our apt) i was having regular contractions that were 2 minutes apart and i was dilated to a 7. At that point the contractions were much more severe so i quickly asked for an epidural! After receiving that, i was able to rest, call family, and talk with Brandon. Around 11am i was fully dilated and was just waiting for doctor Hopkin to arrive to deliver the little guy! Once he came i pushed about five times and without even feeling him, out came our little man at 11:51am. It was purely amazing Brandon was able to cut the cord and he was taken to be wiped up. His oxygen levels were low and they wanted to take him to the NICU but they decided that skin to skin with the mother was better for him so i was then able to hold him. I am just so grateful that Coleton was born safe and healthy, what a little blessing he is to us and we could not be more happy with him.
