Baby Andrew is Here
Christmas morning 2008 at 3:48am, we received our incredible gift - Andrew David Sexton. He is 8lbs 2oz and 20 1/2 inches long. His little round face is so adorable and he's got a powerful pout. He's got 10 fingers and 10 toes. He's perfect!!! Andrew and momma are doing great after a long, exhausting Christmas Eve day and night. He doesn't cry much, just gives little wimpers. He is so darn cute. I just can't say it enough!!!
The Waiting Game
I think I've discovered the game I hate the very most! Maybe you've played it before? It's called the waiting game. I hate it. My wife Julie and I are now unwilling participants in this devilish game as we wait with overflowing anxiousness for her to go into labor and our son to be born. She's been having a lot of contractions. Alot of them are pretty painful. We've been to the hospital a couple times and sent home just as many times. The last time we went was last Saturday. Her contractions were regular and painful, but not enough. They told Julie and the pain needs to be at least twice what it was then. And her cervix wasn't open enough. Her body just wasn't ready.
Now, we do things just to pass the time. We go on walks, shopping, bumpy car rides, watch movies. Anything to take our minds off of "it." We've looked up and tried just about every way to get her body into labor, but with no success yet. Her due date is not until Jan. 3rd, but she's just done being pregnant. I'm totally ready for her to be done, too. We laugh because Julie has never wanted to be in so much pain before. She wants the pain of labor, because at least that means the pregnancy is almost over and baby Andrew will be here.
Pray with us that Andrew comes soon!!!
