MAVERICK JOEL BLASE

6 POUNDS 10 OUNCES

19 1/2 INCHES LONG

My doctor said I was 4cm at my morning appointment on Tuesday morning. I started having contractions at 4:30pm that night. They got VERY painful and close together by about 7:00pm. At 9:30pm I was admitted to St. Joe's hospital. By 12:30am I had an epidural. By 3:00 I got a little pitocin and changed from 7cm to 9.5 cm by 4:30 am. By 5:30 the doctor on call came in and said I was 10cm and broke my water. I pushed and pushed and pushed a few rounds and Maverick arrived at 5:42am on Wednesday at January 27th hollering and screaming. He has strawberry blonde hair and big blue eyes. We are so excited. I'm still in the hospital until Friday morning with the wonderful staff here.
