It has been a few weeks since I posted but as most of you know, we welcomed our sweet baby boy Alexander Cole White into the world on September 1, 2009 at 2:02 pm. I went in on Monday night and they begain the induction process. By the wee hours of the morning the medications begain to work in FULL FORCE and labor begain. My water broke around 9:30am on Tuesday and I begain pushing. After 4 straight hours of hard pushing Cole was not coming. After discussing with Dr. Odom the decision was made it was best that they prep me for a c- section. I was a bit nervous but I knew it was best that we get him here as quickly and safely as possible. So, at 2:02pm I heard the most joyous sound I have ever heard. I heard by little mircle of life, cry for the first time and it melted my heart. I have fallen more and more in love with him each and every day that he has been here. He brings so much joy and happiness to my life! We had to stay in the hospital an extra day because Cole's biliruben level went high and the MD wanted him to be monitored and placed until the bili lights. We were sent home with a bili blanket but he was only under it for a few days and then we had his level rechecked and it was normal. Thank GOODNESS! We had his 2 week check up this week and he now weighs 8 pounds 2 oz :) I am going to do my best to update my blog weekly or more often :) I can not say thank you enough to every one that came to the hospital to welcome Baby Cole and also to everyone that has been praying for us through our pregnancy journey. It was a very emotional pregnancy and even though Cole will not replace my baby boy Addison Carter he definely helps fill some of the emptyness I had in my heart for my baby. I still think about Carter each and every day and I see alot of him in Cole. I am so thankful to Jesus Christ for allowing me to carry one of his children again and for us to have him safe and sound here. God is so good.
