About 70 % of you all that voted on the boy/girl poll predicted that our baby was going to be a girl. I'm sorry to tell you that you were wrong! Congratulations to the 30 % of you that guessed boy!!
Maxwell James Garvin entered the world on Saturday, December 13 at 8:30 PM. He was one day past his due date. He weighed in at 6 pounds 12 ounces and was 20 inches long.
At about 5:00 in the morning, I started having some regular contractions. They didn't hurt at all, but that is the most labor I've ever gone into on my own, so of course I got exciting thinking this might be the day. Bob immediately called his parents to come out to watch the kids so we could go into the hospital. A few hours later all contracting stopped. Bob still insisted that we go into the hospital, especially since his parents were ready to watch the kids. So reluctantly we went.
I felt pretty silly telling the nurses that I really wasn't having any contractions and wasn't sure myself why I was even there. By 4:00 the Braxton Hicks like contractions came back. The dr. checked me and I was 6 cm, so they decided to keep me at the hospital. By 6:00 the contractions still didn't hurt, but they were still there. At 7:00, they broke my water and immediately the contractions were every 2 minutes and becoming increasingly painful!! At 8:00 I asked for an epidural. By the time the epidural was put in it was about 8:20. Little Maxwell popped out with 1 push at 8:27!!
He is a tiny, precious miracle!!
Samuel just kept saying, "Awww."
Thank you for your prayers!!

Congratulations Tesha and family! So glad that all went well and Maxwell is safe and sound with you. He is so precious!
What a beautiful baby boy! Congratulations. We can't wait to meet him.
Congratulations!! Tesha, your story sounds like BOTH of mine...I had painless contractions regularly (10 min apart) for an hour, but then they stopped, but we still went into the hospital both times...I felt silly telling the nurses that I wasn't currently having any contractions either. Glad to hear everything went well! Get some rest. :D
We're so happy for Max's safe arrival. Happy baby to you all!
Happy birthday Maxwell!!!
Congratulations, Tesha! He's gorgeous!
