Casey Lynn was born by emergency C-Section at 8.18am this morning. 7 lbs 10oz.
It was a looooooong Sunday night/Monday morning.
Both of my boys had bad colds on Sunday morning. I left the older one with his mother at around midday and went to visit my father. During this visit Sam didn't seem well. He was lathargic and kept falling asleep.
When I got home, though, my oldest was in the middle of an astma attack and I grabbed him up and took him to the hospital. That was 3.00pm. At 1.30am he was admitted.
I settled him down to bed and jumped in the car to go home and get a change of clothes etc. When I got there the younger one was breathing badly too.
So...I grabbed him too and headed back to the hospital with their mother along as well.
The wife sat with Sam while the doctors ran around doing their thing in a very busy night for the emergency staff. I went up to stay with the older boy who was still awake.
I guess I fell asleep on the chair next to his bed for at about 3.30am.
At 5.30am I was woken up by a nurse who said my wife was having contractions and that I needed to stay with Sam while she was being checked out.
When I got down to the emergency one of the nurses informed me that the contractions were instense, regular and that she was going to have a C-Section at 8.00am.
I just rolled my eyes and shook my head which got all the staff laughing.
So...the four most important things in my life are all in hospital at one time.
They are all okay and mother and baby are doing really well.
