Our Little Baby

On Tuesday morning I went to the hospital to be induced. I was pleasantly surprised that they now allowed the moms-to-be to have more than ice chips. They now allow "clear liquids" which includes jello, Italian ice, cranberry juice, ginger ale, and hot tea. I didn't like the broth but I liked the rest of my "clear liquids" lunch.
Josiah Wilson was born at 6:33 PM. He weighed 8 pounds 2 1/2 ounces. They didn't seem very concerned about getting his lenght measured. I think it is often inaccurate but they measured him at 20 1/2 inches.
Chris looks so happy in these pictures. I think he was relieved that the labor and delivery were over.
I love my doctor (on the right)!
This time, I actually had the same nurse (on the left) from the beginning until a little after delivery. She was in charge of the unit on Tuesday and she was very busy but she was there for me when I needed her. Josiah kept looking around with one eye open and one eye shut, like he wasn't really sure what he thought of everything and everyone.
The next morning he had his hearing test. The hospital started using a more accurate test this year. They now do an auditory brainstem response test or ABR. I enjoyed getting to watch the test.
His little hat wouldn't stay on. He kept turning his head so much that it fell off.
He is so cute and cuddly.
