Baby Parker is Here

Baby Parker Alexander Haynes is home and doing well. I am home and doing good as well. I know you all missed me. I missed checking my email, blogs, facebook, etc. We had internet at the hospital the first day and a half, but after that, it was down. Adam was a bit depressed because he had nothing to do for a few days. He did leave on Tuesday and Wednesday to come home and shower and he went to class yesterday and today, so he wasn't stuck there forever.

I was admitted to the hospital Monday morning at 6:30 for an induction. I finally started feeling contractions around 4 or so and they were torturing me. I was in pain and tears were streaming down my face, but I got over it. My doctor came in and I was thinned out and his head was low, but I wasn't dilating, so they turned off the Pit. and said they would try again in the morning. He came and checked me again in the morning and then again and lunch and said that I still wasn't dilating and that he would have to do a c-section. He said I can do it now or you can wait until I finish up at the office tonight. I decided that it would be better to just go then and not have to wait any longer. So they prepped me and we headed to the operating room. The spinal was horrible and I was in tears. It was hard to sit still. Adam heard the nurse walk out saying that she was helping with a c-section but it was taking a while because the patient was a "tiddy-baby". Not sure if she was talking about me or not, but it made me sad. I did well during the procedure. I didn't really feel anything. Just pressure and tugging here and there. It was not bad. I saw him for two seconds and they took him to the nursery. New babies stay in the nursery for the first 3-4 hours so it took a while to hold him.

Here are several pictures...They aren't really in any particular order, but we wanted to share with everyone.
This is him in the car seat after the ride home.
Him in his going home outfit before we left our room.
The clothes fit him pretty well, but the hat was a little big. He is so cute.
Adam got to go in the Nursery with him while I was being "stitched" up. This is when they were cleaning and checking him.
Marie, Kari and Mom were outside watching them clean him up.
Adam said John's grandpa name is going to be Old Man Haynes. We'll see if that sticks or not.
This is the first Grandchild of John and Marie. We're not sure what her grandma name is going to be yet.
Baby Claire that isn't a baby anymore got to hold him. She was pretty excited about it I think.
Grammer and Grumps came by for a visit.
Andrea is pretty stoked about being an aunt.
This is me holding him. I look pretty hideous.
Proud Daddy holding him. Adam is very excited about having Parker.

This is the first time that I got to hold him. I was so excited to see him.
