He is perfect.
It is impossible to explain this feeling, but here we are at Hoag Hospital holding and caring for our new son Liam.
Marta started labor at 6AM on Saturday the 19th. We took our first trip to the hospital early the next morning around 3:30AM. After waiting around for an hour they thought she was progressing and admitted her to labor & delivery. Once the on-call doctor was on the floor and the nurses had switched over to day shift, they weighed in with their opinion and sent us back home to deal with the contractions on our own.
24 hours after our first visit we were back and Dr. Clayton, Marta’s OBGYN, was walking the halls and came in for a pep talk. It was time to have Marta’s water broken, get an epideral, and finally sleep after 48 hours of none. We both passed out for a couple hours until family arrived. Marta was measuring at 4cm so I went down to the cafeteria with Marta’s mom and sister to get some breakfast, while we were down there we got a call from Marta saying she was at 9cm and was going to start pushing! Needless to say we raced back up there. One hour of pushing and Liam was out!
