We are so glad to finally be able to introduce you to our son, Blake Mitchell! Born on March 11, 2008 at 9:27pm weighing 8lbs. 8oz. and measuring 21 1/4in.
Laura went in for her 41 week check-up and the doctor’s decided to induce labor due to signs of low fluid in the uterus. We were not prepared to go to the hospital and had to run home and get our bags and then headed straight for the hospital. The induction started around 3:30 and contractions started getting intense around 6:15. The midwife shut off the pitocin(inducing drug) at this time to see if Laura’s body would kick into gear on its own. However, after no progress for an hour and a half, the midwife felt we should start the pitocin again to get things moving again. Around 9pm, Laura started pushing and after about 5 or 6 VERY HARD pushes, Blake was welcomed into the world!!!
We are so blessed with the arrival of the newest addition to our family! He is beautiful! God is truly amazing and we stand in awe of the miracle of LIFE!
