Baby Max is here!


On Friday, the 9th of April, Jonathan and I went in at 7 am to the hospital.  It was a great morning, with lots of great nurses, lots of yummy ice to chew on, and lots of family support.  My mom brought Briggs and Nelly over after they woke up, were fed, and dressed.  Mom and Dad Johnson came at the exact same time, and came in our room all together.  We had been sooooo blessed to have an uneventful epidural placement (yay! I was really scared!), and I was very comfortable all day.  But at about 2 pm, I had a little discomfort, feeling that something was changing in my body.  At about 2:30, they checked me, and I was still only at about a 6.  So, they seemed to think it was nothing.  However, I felt more and more uncomfortable, and called the nurses at about 2:50.  They were surprised to find that the head was on its way!  Dr. Melendez came quickly, and baby Max was out within one contraction at 3:16 pm.
 
Lovely, motherly, me...

Here is Max!!!  Holy cow, he's 9 lbs 3 oz and 20 inches long!  No wonder mom was so uncomfortable for 9 months.  Hello?!

Dr. Melendez was great.

Baby Max made mommy cry a whole bunch from sheer excitement and happiness!

Grandpa Brent made a great entrance, right after Max was born.  It was so fun to see him hold Max Brent Johnson!
