Mom's turn with a camera
I'm sure Cace didn't love me very much this morning while I snapped away, but I think it was worth it to get such cute pics of him. Enjoy!!
Hello World!!
Cace Patrick Malone made his debut into the world on Tuesday, May 17th, 2011 at 3:04 pm. He was 19.5 inches long and weighed 6 lbs 14 oz.
Due to the gestational diabetes, Dr. Hicks didn't want me to go beyond 39 weeks. When we went to my appointment on the 16th, he told us to come to the hospital that night at midnight to be induced. After a long night of getting poked and prodded, they began the pitocin around 6:45 that morning. Dr. Hicks came to break my water about an hour later and we were on our way to having a baby!!
At the nurse shift change at 2:00, the new nurse checked me and I was 9.5 cm dilated. She got the room ready and called Dr. Hicks. We began pushing around 2:30 or so, then had to wait for Dr. Hicks to get there, and Cace entered the world a little after 3:00.
My mom (T-Ma) and Michael's mom (MoMo) were waiting outside and once they were able to come in, T-Ma attacked with the camera!! She got lots of great pictures to capture the moment and how stinking adorable he is!!
We are so excited for him to be here and just can't get enough of him!! He has been so good so far. He sleeps a lot and eats really well. We went to his first doctor's appointment on Tuesday, the 24th and he had already grown a .5 inch and weighed 7 lbs 3 oz.
I also can't say enough about all of our family and friends and all of the support they have given us and Cace during the pregnancy and since he was born. Cace has so many people who love him!!
