On December 18th I was scheduled to be induced so that my mom would be able to be here for the arrival of our newest little addition. My contractions had started the night before so I believe he was going to come one way or another on the 18th. We arrived at the hospital around 7 and by 8 they had me all hooked up and were getting the ball rolling. My mom was home with Lizzy when we left but shortly after she awoke, Lizzy went and spent the day with our wonderful friend Brenda (thank you Brenda) so that my mom could be with me for support. Around 1230 they gave me my epidural and at 1 the doctor broke my water. Sometime around 3:30 or so they had put me on oxygen because they were afraid that there was too much stress on Kolby due to the fact that one contraction would end and less than 30 seconds later the next one would start. At 4 they figured I still had a couple of hours left, boy were they surprised when 15 minutes later I told them he was ready and coming. At 4:46 our little bundle of joy, Kolby Hunter Cox was born weighing 7 lbs 15 oz and 20 3/4 inches long joined us.
Kolby is an absolute wonderful addition to our family and completes it.
Lizzy was very excited and could not wait to meet her little brother. Mommy and Kolby had a gift for Lizzy to help ease the shock of not being an only child. She was so excited and could not wait to start taking pictures of her little brother.
One proud daddy!!!
