We would like to introduce Luke Benjamin Morin! Our little buckaroo was born Thursday, May 6th at 11:08 am. Ben and I have loved having this time to get to know this little guy! We adore all of his sweet wrinkles and folds and laugh at each new facial expression Luke gives us while absorbing his new world!
The labor was a pretty quick process. We arrived at the hospital at 4 am on Thursday and they checked me over at Triage. At 5 am I was in my delivery room and by 7 am I was fully diated to 10 cm. They told me we should have this baby by 7:30 am! We couldn't believe it! However, pushing was a different story....after 1 hour of pushing Luke had turn his body and his shoulders were now diagonal to my pelvic bone. With his head completely crowned his shoulders were to broad and he became stuck. The Dr. tried and tried but after a total of 2 hours of pushing we decided that a C-section was the best solution at that point. They wheeled me down quickly and I just remember how bright the light was in the operating room. I heard the doc say, " Hand me the scalpel." I gulped, closed my eyes, and didn't feel a thing. The next thing I remember is hearing Ben's voice say, " Court, it's a boy!" and then I heard the best sound I had ever heard...the cry from my son. I watched as they carried Luke to get measured ( 8 lbs. 9 oz.!!!), cleaned, and saw Ben become a dad for the first time as he watched his sweet, little boy. He asked the nurses, "Can I touch him?" :)
I am feeling great and all 3 of us are happy to be home together. Thank you for all of your warm wishes and prayers. We are thrilled to have Luke meet each of you and feel the love that we are so blessed to be surrounded with...
