Grayson Davis Heffernan entered the world at 11:40pm on Wednesday, December 17th weighing in at 7 pounds even and measuring 20 1/4 inches long. He is healthy and beautiful...I am in love! I had been in what is termed "pre-labor" (which means feeling miserable with no discernable progress) for 6 days when I had my weekly check-up. The doctor said it could be any hour now, however I was skeptical. I can home from the appointment and got ready for a Christmas party. As we drove to the party, I was is pain however I just though it was bad cramping from being checked at my appointment combined with what was becoming normal daily contractions about every 2 minutes. I told Dave, "I'm not sure how long I am going to last at this party," but I hesitated to go home as Chase's previous nanny, Maria, was watching him that night and he was so looking forward to it. We lasted at the Christmas party until 9pm at which point I was pretty sure I wanted to stop by the hospital on the way home (for my 3rd visit...yeah, that's right, 3 times). Twenty minutes later when we arrived at the hospital I was sure we were staying. We checked in at 9:30pm and Grayson was born just over 2 hours later. WOW!!!
Chase is taking on the role of big brother as a champ although I was a little concerned at first as his first reaction in the hospital was to cry "no, no" and attempt to push Grayson out of Dave's arms. Apparently he has grown past that (in 2 days) and now is very gentle and loving toward the baby.
We are loving being the parents of two handsome little men!
