It's a boy!!!

He's here!!! We have a new baby boy! Both mother and baby are doing just fine, and both will be coming home soon. His name will be Hyrum Frederick Flamm. He was born April 9th at 11:51 PM weighing in at 7 LB 11.4 OZ and 20 inches long. He has a lot of brown hair. He loves his mama and fed well, but I got to hold him first! Sorry no photos yet, I couldn't wrestle the camera away from MiKell.

Now here's the story of how he got here.

Take me out to the ball game!

So Saturday April 9th my company had a get together at ball game. It was MiKell's due date but we thought as long as MiKell wasn't in labor during the game it would work out. The game was laid back like most baseball games and we had fun talking to coworkers and watching the game; we even tried boiled peanuts for the first time. It was way past the boys bed time by the bottom of the 7th so we left. Later, MiKell let me know that she also wanted to go because she thought that maybe things were starting but she couldn't really tell.

So we get home and the kids are asleep in their car seats, so I carry them to bed. It's not even an hour and MiKell says to me that she feels very weird. So we're thinking what's going to and what we should do. She says that her fingers are numb and I start getting worried. So we decided to go into the Hospital, and as confirmation of our decision MiKell's water breaks. After reconstructing the night we think it was about 10:30. We jump and race to the hospital and of course we're stuck behind every slow car and possible, once we were forced down to 15 under the speed limit on the freeway across all 3 lanes. Driving down here will have to be another post.

We get to the hospital and it's 11:00 PM they take us to a room right away, and we say the usual that MiKell has rapid labor and she's never had a baby more than an hour after her water breaks and so forth. And they act like they don't believe a word of it; because it seems like an eternity to sign papers, getting information, logging her into the system, setting up the monitors, and finally they admit us and they check MiKell and immediately call the Doctor to come in.

Well at 11:45 the Doctor still isn't there but the baby is not going to wait. So our nurse, after valiantly trying to keep that baby in, had to deliver the baby. Luckily she knew how to catch. It definitely took them all by surprise how fast it happened.

Pictures to show up soon, most likely this afternoon.
