Lucas Benjamin Henry
August 9, 2010 (8/9/10)at 3:33pm
8 lbs. 10 oz.
19.75 inches
This little one was determined to come on his due date!
Sunday, August 8:
3:00 am -- Contractions start
9:00 pm -- Finally go to the hospital
9:30 pm -- Devastated to hear Vanessa is only dilated to 1 cm
10:30 pm -- Vanessa only dilated to 2 cm
Monday, August 9:
12:30 am -- Vanessa still only dilated to 2 cm, so we are sent home
6:00 am -- Contractions extremely painful and Vanessa gets sick so Ben calls the doctor
6:30 am -- Back to the hospital
7:00 am -- Vanessa has finally progressed to 4 cm and can now be admitted
7:30 am -- Pain medicine to help Vanessa stop shaking
9:00 am -- Sweet relief from an epidural
I wanted to have a completely natural delivery, but after more than 24 hours of labor with no rest my body needed the reprieve that the epidural offered so I could sleep.
2:00 pm -- Vanessa is dilated to 10 cm and can start pushing
3:33 pm -- Lucas Benjamin Henry is born
He struggled with Jaundice for the first week, but after some tanning under the Bili-Light, supplementing with an ounce of formula per feeding, and some time sleeping in the window at home, he worked it out.
We love him so much and are so glad to have him home with us!

Dear Baby,
Please come soon. Daddy and I want to see you so badly!
We washed all of your new clothes and blankets and put them away in your room. Your bed is all ready to go when we bring you home from the hospital. Mommy's feet are swelling and her ribs are really sore. I'm sure you're feeling kind of cramped in there. You should join us out here where we can hold you, cuddle you, and kiss you.
Waiting for you to come is like sitting at the top of a roller coaster. I know that the huge drop is coming, but I don't know when. So my body is tensing up in anticipation. The initial drop will be a real shock and I may not like it, but once things get going I'm sure I will be able to relax and enjoy the ride. :)
Constantly thinking of you and loving you,
Mommy and Daddy

New Shoes
Ben plays a lot of basketball. He just got some new shoes. He had to take some pictures.
Can you tell he's excited to have a son to play with soon?
