We found out on Wednesday, March 24th that Colton would be born via c-section on Friday. Needless to say, the next 36 hours passed in a daze as we prepared mentally and literally to be parents. Josh and I woke up early Friday morning to a rainy, nasty day, but prepared to meet our son in just a few hours. We loaded Chipper into the car to make his journey to his grandparents house and off we went.
After a 35 minute journey (it usually only takes 15, but Josh was so distracted he took a few wrong turns) and having dropped Chipper off, we arrived at the hospital, scared to death! After 2 hours of IVs and monitoring, I was taken back at 9:30 to begin the C-section. Josh joined me a little while later and at 10:19 AM, our precious Colton Hoyte Hobbs entered the world. Josh got to watch as Dr. Lackore brought him into the world and then even got to go back as they weighed him (7 pounds, 12 ounces) and measured him (20 inches) and pronounced him "perfect" (their words, not ours, but we do wholeheartedly agree!).
Colton spent the rest of his day meeting lots of family: both his grandmas and grandpas, his Aunt Genna, Uncle Ryan, and Aunt KC, and of course catching up on his sleep. The highlight of the day was when Josh attempted to change his first diaper only to have Colton pee on him during his attempt:)
Overall, it was an excellent first day and we all feel so blessed to have Colton with us, FINALLY!
