Introducing Evan Connor

I am a little late with this post, but things have been pretty busy here.

Our son Evan was born on April 19th at 12:20 pm. He weighed in at 8lbs 12oz, and measured 20 inches long.

The delivery was somewhat stressful, as Abby was induced on Thursday April 17th at about 11pm. Things progressed very slowly until about 12:30 on Saturday morning when the doctor broke her bag of water. She got an epidural at about 3:00 am, and slept for several hours after it took effect. Later in the morning, the epidural wore off, and her labor was getting very painful. She was only dilated about 5 cm at this point, so we decided to proceed with a C-section.

It also turned out that Evan was born with a Group B Strep infection, so they had to admit him into the children's hospital on Sunday evening. He finally came home 8 days later, on Monday April 28th.

Things are pretty crazy around here now, but Evan makes us smile every day!
