Harper is finally here! As many of you know we have been waiting for Lolly's little brother to come for some time! He surprised us by coming two days early from his due date. Harper Huston Scott was born on May 9, 2009 at 7:15AM. My water broke at work at 2PM on Friday while I was talking to my sister-in-law Kris. Surprised to feel this before contractions my boss was also freaking out! She walked me out to the car and the event began! I called Ben on the way home and came home to him pacing, packed, and ready to go! We found out that there was a full moon Friday night which means crazy baby time at the hospital! I was in triage for 3 hours waiting to be moved into my labor room because of the over flow of women going into labor on account of the full moon. I was moved into my labor room and everything slowed down. I was given meds to speed up my contractions and dilation but nothing worked. They continued this process until I finally started feeling the contractions and was given my epidural! I recommend an epidural to all women, made the process so much more enjoyable! After receiving the epidural everything sped up and all of a sudden the stir ups were coming out and I was pushing! I pushed for about 30 minutes and Harper arrived! He is perfect, healthy, and adorable (as all moms would say!). Harper weighed in at 6 pounds 11 ounces and 20.5 inches long! We are now at home and doing well! Harper is definitely breaking us in and testing us every night!
We want to thank everyone who has sent flowers, gifts, phone calls, e-mails, and texts! We appreciate the support so much and can't wait for everyone to meet our new edition to the family.
