LITTLE SISTER

As you may have guessed from the image above, I have some wonderful news to share with everyone!

Yesterday, at 11:07 AM, Cami delivered our little baby girl into the world. She weighed 7lbs, 11oz and measured 19.5″ inches long.

We named her Pearl Eveyln Brazelton.

Pearl joined us a little sooner than we expected – her original due date was the 16th and her C-section was scheduled for the 10th – but we’re thrilled to have her with us.

Things went much more smoothly with Pearl than they did with Henry. Basically because we knew a natural childbirth was off the table from the get-go. Since having a c-section was always our plan, it was just a mater of being taken into surgery once Cami was admitted to the hospital.

I first had a sense that something was up about 5:30 yesterday morning. Stirring from my sleep and barely awake, Cami tells me “I think I’m having contractions, but I’m not sure. It’s no big deal.”

“That’s kind of heavy to lay on someone first thing in the morning, honey,” I replied, still hazy.

But we went about our morning, getting Henry out of bed, dressed and preparing to take him to day care.

Funnily enough, Cami and I were supposed to meet with our doctor yesterday morning to discuss the C-section that was scheduled for one week later. Cami and I had planned on carpooling to work and dropping Henry off at daycare. But Cami’s contractions didn’t ebb and she sent me and Henry out the door without her. Our plan had morphed slightly. I would take Henry to day care, work a couple of hours and then meet her at the doctors office at 9:00 AM.

After dropping Henry off, I got a call at my desk from Cami. “I’m not going to make it to 9:00 o’clock,” she said. I rushed home to get her.

Bags packed, we headed to the hospital. We arrived at 8:30 and they quickly confirmed that Cami was in labor.

Long story short, they took her into the operating room and Pearl was born at 11:07 AM!

Since we didn’t have our parents waiting around in the lobby like we did when Henry was born, Cami and I were able to relax a little bit and enjoy our time with Pearl before we started to welcome visitors.

I cradled my daughter in my arms. Bundled tightly in her blankets, she chirped and cooed. Snow flurries swirled outside our window overlooking the hospital’s garden. And I knew peace. It was a wonderful feeling.

There will be more information later. But for now I wanted to share the good news and thank everyone who has already sent message of support. We appreciate your kind words.

Look for a series of guest comics in this space starting Monday. Until then, have a great weekend!
