Hi friends and family!! It has been an eventful few days for the Campbell family...to say the least! On Tuesday, Melissa went into the hospital for a non stress test (Baby Campbell was due on Friday, March 13th). After the baby failed his test, the doc decided that it was time to start the labor process. At first, it looked as though things were going to go quite nicely. After about 12 hours of labor, Melissa opted for an epidural (which she would describe as the most heavenly relief ever!!). After laboring through the night, baby decided that it just wasn't going anywhere. So, at about 11:30am, after a visit from the OB surgeon, a C-section was decided upon. Apparently this baby was not going to come out on it's own. Grady Donald Del Campbell was born at 12:07pm on Wednesday, March 18th. He weighed 9 lbs, 1 oz, and was 20 1/4 inches long. He was way too big for Melissa to deliver on her own, so we are so happy that the decision for a C-section had been made when it was. What a relief to FINALLY meet this sweet little boy!!
Grady has been such an amazing boy...he hardly ever cries and is just an absolute delight. He just coos and grunts, and is such a little lover. He is eating like a champion (go figure at 9 lbs) and totally takes after his Dad! We love him so so soooooo much!!
We are hoping to spring out of the hospital tomorrow afternoon. Melissa and Grady both need to get the ok's from their docs, but all is looking well at this point! We had better get our rest tonight...the adventure is about to begin!
