After getting to the hospital Monday evening, the doctors induced Katie Tuesday morning. After 17 hours of labor, Brayden showed up just in time for last call at the local pub :) The labor was difficult for Katie - but we figured that must be why they call it labor and not vacation. She was very proud of herself, as she should be! After 9 months of being pregnant, the prize at the end is totally worth it - a healthy, beautiful baby boy who is just beginning to learn the world he's entered. He sure was stubborn about coming out - he was 10 days late! But he seems to be enjoying the sights and sounds of his new surroundings.
We are at the hospital in recovery for the next few days (until Friday morning), getting acquainted with Brayden and learning the first steps of being parents. Katie's parents are going to come up to help us out, and my parents are to follow later in the month. We are taking the opportunity to rest and learn while here, but we can't wait to bring Brayden home so he can start his life - and meet his big brother Griffey!
