Christian Bradly

Yesterday, April 6, our little Christian was born. He came a little early, but it was not unexpected. Because of the medication Teri has been on for her blood clots, her doctor wanted to induce her early so she could stop the med 24 hours before to prevent any bleeding problems. So, we showed up to the hospital on Friday at 8:00 AM during an April blizzard. They started her at about 10:00. They decided to get things moving and manually broke her water at noon (while I was out getting a bite). I rushed back up. The doctor and nurses did not think my rush was needed, but I know how fast Teri can be. Low and behold Christian was born at 1:41 PM less than two hours later. The doctor did not make it back to the hospital in time for the delivery. He said he had expected he'd be back around dinner time when he walked in 3 minutes after she delivered. Thankfully, there was a midwife just down the hall who jumped in to deliver the little guy. Teri did amazing! She went natural again. She was great. Baby was born weighing 6 lb 9 oz and 20 in long. He came out blue with the chord around his neck a couple times, but he recovered quickly. He has a lot of dark hair like his big sister had. He is such a cute little guy. He and mom are doing great.
