Cash James is born

Supporting those Hogs at a young age!
We were to be at the Labor and Delivery unit at St Vincent's at 8:00 p.m. December 30, 2008 to start the enducing process. We were so nervous, so before, we went to Shoguns to eat and then to the mall, my safe haven, to calm our nerves. We walked around for a short period of time just looking at baby stuff and talking. Before we left the house even we said, " the next time we are back here we will have a baby." It was so crazy to think about but also very exciting! We finally made it into the Labor and Delivery unit at 9:45ish, we had to wait for a room, and I had until 11:00 p.m. to eat or drink anything. The nurses didn't get me all hooked up to all the machines until 10:45 p.m., which left me no time to eat or hardly drink anything. I was on my way to childbirth! WOW! The nurses at St Vincent were amazing, I had a great experience and felt nothing! Finally, after about 45 min of pushing at 8:40 p.m. , Cash James Copeland had arrived! He was 7 lbs. 8 oz., 21", and beautiful! We got into the mother baby unit 5 minutes before the ball dropped in NYC! It was the perfect day!
